Scheff1era farinosa Merr. (Chan chim bot) belongs to the family Araliaceae. From methanol extract of it's bark five compounds have been isolated. Their structures were determined as 4',7-di-O-methylnaringenin
rutin
5-O-caffeoylquinic acid
3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid and 3alpha,29-dihydroxy-12-Oleanene-23,28-dioic acid by analysis of MS, NMR spectra and comparison with the published data. This is the first time, the chemical constituents and biological activity of the S. farinosa have been investigated. Compound 3alpha,29-dihydroxy-12-Oleanene-23,28-dioic acid is isolated for the first time from nature.
