Objective: To investigate the chemical constituents from the extract of the fruits of Ailanthus altissimrna.
Method: Twelve compounds were isolated by chromatography and identified by spectral data.
Result: The compounds obtained were identified as (+)-isolariciresinol (1), isolariciresinol 9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), gallic acid (3), D-sorbitol (4), vanillin (5), 6,7-dihydroxy-coumarin (6), stigmast-4-en-3-one (7), 5alpha, 8alpha-epidioxy-ergosta-6,9 (11), 22E-trien-3beta-ol (8), ergosta-4,6,8 (14), 22E-tetraen-3-one (9), cycloeucalenol (10), lupeol (11), betulinic acid (12).
Conclusion: Compounds 1-12 were isolated from this genus for the first time.
