Abstract: Sixteen compounds have been isolated in the first time from the aerial parts of saus-surea Gossypiphora D. Don. On the basis of IR, UV, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS and chemical methods as well as comparison with authentic samples. Fourteen compounds were identified as follows; Tritriacontance(1),1-Tetrocontene(2), Dotriacontanoic acid (3),Ergostan-3,24-diol (4), β-Sitostercol(5), Stigmast-7-en-3-ol(6), Aretigenin(7), 2-Hydroxylappaol B(8), Api-genin (9), Quercetin(10),Arctin(11), Apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucoside(12), Chrysoeriol-7-O-β-D-glucoside(13), Apigenin-7-O-β-D-neonesperidoside(14). Among them (4) and (8) are two new compounds. (2), (6) and (14) are reported for the first time in the genus of this plant.

Key words: Saussurea, Ergostan-3,24-diol, 2-Hydroxylappaol B
