Chemical investigation of the constituents of the whole herb of Ainsliaea yunnanensis Franch has led to isolation of hentriacontane (1), (6Z,9Z)-henicosa-6, 9-diene (2), methyl linoleate (3), dodecyl (Z)-9-hexadecenoate (4), heptadecan-8-ol (5), α-linolenic acid (6), (Z)-6-hexadecenoic acid (7), (Z)-10-eicosenoic acid (8), stearic acid (9), phytenoic acid (10), tripalmitolein (11), trilinolenin (12), phthalic acid bis-(2-ethylhexyl) ester (13), diisobutyl phthalate (14), 2-hydroxy-butanedioic acid-4-methyl ester (15), diacylgalactolipids I (16), β-D-galactopyranoside-1,2-bis[(1-oxo-9,12,15- octadecatrienyl)oxy]propyl (17), (2S)-1,2-O-(9Z,12Z-octadecadienoyl)-3-O-[α-D-galactopyranosyl-(1′′′′→6′′′)-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl]glycerol (18). The structures of the compounds were identified
by comparison of their NMR data with literature data.
