A new flavonol glycoside, 8-methoxykaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnosyl-4′-O-β-D-glucoside (1), was isolated from the fruits of Cercidiphyllum japonicum (Cercidiphyllaceae) in addition to two known anomeric galloyltannins, [2,2′,5-tri-O-galloyl-α/β-D-hamamelose (2) and 3,4,6-tri-O-galloyl-α/β-D-glucose (3)], and one known flavonol [quercetin (4)]. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated using chemical and spectral methods.

A new cis-caffeoyl coumarin glycoside, cichorigenin-5-O-(4′-cis-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), was isolated from the stem barks of Fraxinus depauperata, together with two known coumarins, cichorigenin (2) and esculin (3). The chemical structures of compounds 1–3 were elucidated through spectroscopic and chemical analysis, as well as by comparison with the literature. Compounds 2 and 3 are reported from this species for the first time.
