Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the dried and nearly ripe fruits of Evodia (Euodia) rutaecarpa.
Method: The compounds were separated and purified by solvent and chromatographic methods. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic techniques.
Result: Fifteen compounds were separated from the normal butanol extracts of the 70% aqueous ethanol extract of the dried and nearly ripe fruits of E. rutaecarpa. Among of them, four compounds were reported in the essay and identified as diosmetin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside (2), diosmin (3) and chrysoeriol-7-O-rutinoside (4).
Conclusion: Compounds 1, 3 and 4 were separated from the dried and nearly ripe fruits of E. rutaecarpa for the first time.
