| Quercus serrata var.brevipetiolata is belongs to the species of the genus Quercus in Fagaceae family.Quercus is one of the earliest wild woody food crops in traditional Chinese society.It has been used for more than ten thousand years.Quercus has important medicinal value,which is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica and Si-ku-quan-shu.Modern studies have shown that the chemical constituents of Quercus mainly include flavonoids,triterpenoids,tannins and so on,which have antioxidant,anti-cancer,anti-inflammatory,anti-bacterial and anti-virus pharmacological effects.In our preliminary study on the seeds of Q.serrata var.brevipetiolata,34 compounds were isolated and identified from the ethyl acetate fraction,including 30 triterpenoids.On the basis of our previous studies,the chemical constituents of the n-butanol fraction of 70% ethanol extract from the seeds of Q.serrata var.brevipetiolata were systematically studied by using various modern chromatographic methods and spectroscopic identification techniques.Sixty-five compounds were isolated and purified from the n-butanol fraction of 70% ethanol extract of Q.serrata var.brevipetiolata,including 27 triterpenes,10 jasmonates,10 glycosides and 18 other compounds.Their chemical names were:(1)Triterpenoids-(i.Oleanene type)3,23-O-Butylidene-2α,3β,19α,23-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid
