This article examines the metabolites and antioxidant activity of Smilax nantoensis, a species in the genus Smilax that is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The study identified eleven compounds in the plant for the first time and tested their antioxidant abilities using three different assays. While most of the compounds did not show strong potential, three compounds exhibited strong antioxidative activity. The research was supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan, and the authors express gratitude to ENABLE project of National Chung Hsing University and Kasetsart University Joint Research Project.
