The leaves of Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.(Rosaceae) were commonly recognized as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat various skin diseases and diabetes mellitus. Phytochemical investigations on the leaves of E. japonica revealed their predominant secondary metabolites as triterpenoids including triterpenoid acids [1]. Our previous study showed that triterpenoid acids can decrease the excitability of cortical pyramidal neurons and acts in epilepsy [2]. In our ongoing search for novel and bioactive triterpenoid acids, a detail chemical investigation on the dried leaves of E. japonica was carried out. As a result, 13 triterpenoid acids were isolated and identified on the basis of extensive spectral methods, among which compounds 1, 2, and 4 were isolated from E. japonica for the first time. The air-dried and powdered leaves of E. japonica (10.0 kg) were extracted with MeOH (50 L× 3) under reflux conditions at 70 C, three hours each time. After removal of the organic solvent under reduced pressure, the extract (1.0 kg) was suspended in H
