•One bicyclic monoterpene, polyphenols, megastigmanes and one glyceroglycolipid were isolated from Ardisia incarnata.•The monoterpene, one flavonol glycoside, megastigmanes and the glyceroglycolipid have not been yet reported in Primulaceae.•The chemotaxonomic significance of the isolates is discussed here.
Phytochemical investigation of the leaves and twigs of Ardisia incarnata Pit. (syn. Ardisia hanceana Mez, Primulaceae) led to the isolation of one bicyclic monoterpene (1), five phenolic compounds (2–5, 8), two megastigmanes (6–7) and one glyceroglycolipid (9). Their structures were established based on analysis of their spectroscopic data and comparison with literature. The compounds 1 and 6–9, isolated for the first time from Ardisia genus, may constitute chemomarkers of A. incarnata within Primulaceae family. Moreover, the flavonoid fingerprint may also be of chemotaxonomic significance.
