Publication date: February 2016 Source:Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, Volume 64 Author(s): De-Qing Wang, Cheng-Nan Wu, Yang Song, Hai-Qiang Jiang, Hong-Lei Zhou, Chao Zhang, Hui-Fen Li, Xue-Lan Zhang, Yi Wu Twenty-four compounds were obtained from the extract of the leaves of I. urceolatus, which were divided into saturated fatty alcohols (1 and 2), triterpenoids (3–8 and 14–16), lignanoids (9, 20 and 22), coumarins (10 and 19), flavonoids (11–13, 21, 23 and 24) and others (17 and 18). Among them, compounds 1, 2, 17 and 18 were firstly obtained from the genus Ilex, others were isolated from this species for the first time. The chemotaxonomic relationships between I. urceolatus and other species of genus Ilex were also discussed. As a result, the isolated compounds closely matched the ones obtained in other species of the genus.
