Abstract

Three new phenolic compounds, yunnanensins A–C (13), together with fourteen known ones (417), were isolated from the leaves and stems of Parakmeria yunnanensis. The structures of new compounds were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses. Several compounds showed weak anti-HIV-1 activity.
