Abstract :The methanol soluble part of Lotus garcinii, belonging to the family Fabaceae, yielded three new interesting metabolites: garceine insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1);, garoside insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2); and garthiol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3);, which have never been detected from any natural source. In addition, isophytol, hexadecanoic acid, cholesterol, oleanolic acid, butulinic acid and lupeol were also obtained for the first time from L. garcinii}. All the isolated metabolites were characterized by spectroscopic means.
