Chemical examination of a Chinese mangrove plant Excoecaria agallocha L.led to the isolations of a new glucoside named l-（3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl）-6-O-galloyl-l-O-β-D-glucopyranoside（1）,together with 10 known glycosides including 3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl-l-O-β-D-glucopyranoside（2）,hydrangeifolin I（3）,（2-methoxy-5-hydroxymethyl-phenyl） -l-O-β-D-（6-Ogalloyl） glucopyranoside（4）,（3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl）-l-O-β-D-（6-O-galloyl） glucopyranoside （5）,3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl l-O-β-D-（6-O-galloyl） glucopyranoside（6）,3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-（6-O-galloyl）-O-β-D-glucopyranoside （7）,koaburaside（8）,koaburaside monomethyl ether（9）,cuneatasides D（10）,and（？）-isosyringin（11）.Their structures were determined through the extensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with the reported data in literature. Compounds 2-6,8-11 were isolated from the genus Excoecaria for the first time.
The current study aimed to investigate the chemical components of the Chinese mangrove plant Cerbera manghas L., collected in Hainan Island.Repeated column chromatography was performed for the isolation and purification.Compounds were identified by the analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR data as well as IR and MS spectral data.A new linear monoterpene,named （2E,6S）-8-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-6-rnethyl-2-octenoic acid（1）,together with cerbinal（2）,cerberidol（3）,2α,3β,24-trihydroxyolea- 12en-28oic acid（4）,4,4,9,7- tetrahydroxy-3,3 -dimethoxy-7,9-epoxylignan （5）, （-）-olovil （6）, （＋）-cycioolivil （7）, naringenin-7-glucoside （8）, aromadendrin （9）, naringenine （10）, and （＋）-dihydroquercetin （11） were isolated from the EtOH and CH2Cl2 extracts. Compounds 4, 5, 8-11 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
