Abstract
Styrax japonica Sieb. et Zucc. (Styracaceae) is a deciduous tree growing in Korea, Japan, and China. The pericarps of this plant have been used as a folk medicine for treatment of cough. Jegosaponins, deacyl jegosaponins and benzofurans have been reported from the fruits and seeds of this plant, and these compounds have been shown antisweet and cytotoxic activities. As a part of a research aimed at the discovery of biological active compounds from plant sources, we have studied a chemical constituent of the stem-bark of S. japonica. (omitted)
