Abstract: Twelve abietane diterpenes were isolated from the 95% ethanol fraction solvated from the aqueous extract of Styrax by using various chromatographic methods, including MCI Gel CHP 20P, Sephadex LH-20, ODS, silica gel, TLC and semi-preparative HPLC. The structures of the isolated compounds were identified by spectroscopy methods (1D, 2D NMR, UV, MS, etc.), and the absolute configuration of the new compound was determined by ECD calculations. Compound 1 is a new compound, which was identified as (4R, 5R, 9S, 10R, 12S)-12-methoxy-neoabietic acid, and compounds 2-12 were isolated from Styrax for the first time.
