Phytochemical investigations on the fruit stalks and seeds of the plant Hovenia dulcis Thunb. led to the isolation of twenty-one compounds, including three triterpenes (1–3), two sterols (4–5), five flavonoids (6–10), two sesquiterpenes (11–12), one lignan (13), two phenylpropanoids (14–15), four benzoic acid derivatives (16–19), one acid amide (20) and one cerebroside (21). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and comparison with previous literatures. Among them, ten compounds (4, 11–12, 14–20) were isolated from familiy Rhamnaceae, two (13, 21) from the genus Hovenia, and three (5, 8, 10) from the species Hovenia dulcis Thunb. for the first time, respectively. The chemotaxonomic significance of these isolates was also discussed.

植物Hovenia dulcis Thunb的果实茎和种子的植物化学研究。导致21化合物的分离，其中包括三个三萜类化合物（13），两个甾醇（4-5），五个类黄酮（6 - 10），两个倍半萜烯（11 - 12），一个木酚素（13），两个苯丙（14 - 15），四个苯甲酸衍生物（16 - 19），一种酸酰胺（20）和一个脑苷（21）。在光谱分析和与先前文献比较的基础上阐明了这些化合物的结构。其中，10个化合物（4，11 - 12，14 - 20）从家庭内鼠李科，二（隔离13，21）从该属枳，和三个（5，8，10）从所述物种枳椇子藤。分别是第一次。还讨论了这些分离株的化学分类学意义。
