The phytochemical investigation of Dendropanax morbiferus H. Lév. Led to the isolation of 28 known compounds: 4 alkaloids (1–4), 1 pyranoglucoside (5), 1 benzoic acid and 5 benzoic acid derivatives (6–11), 10 phenylpropanoids (12–21), 4 flavone glucoside derivatives (22–25), 1 neolignan (26) and 2 sesquiterpenes (27–28). The structures of these compounds were identified using spectroscopic methods; their nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were compared with those previously reported. This is the first report on compounds 2–4, 10, and 12 isolated from D. morbiferus. Compounds 5 and 26 from the genus Dendropanax and 1, 6–9, 11, 13, 14–25, 27 and 28 from the family Araliaceae were isolated for the first time. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive chemical investigation of D. morbiferus stems and leaf compounds. Chemotaxonomic relationship between D. morbiferus and other Dendropanax species is also discussed.
