Phytoconstituents from the leaves of Dracaena cochinchinensis (Lour.) S. C. Chen

•Fourteen compounds were isolated from the leaves of Dracaena cochinchinensis.•Compounds 3, 6–12 have not yet been reported in D. cochinchinensis.•Compound 4 is a new homoisoflavanone.•The chemotaxonomic significance of the isolates was discussed.

Five flavonoids, four feruloyl amide derivatives, pinoresinol, lanost-9-en-3β-ol and three steroids from the leaves of Dracaena cochinchinensis (Lour.) S. C. Chen. Of these, compound 4 was identified as a new homoisoflavanone. This publication is the first reported purification of compounds 3, 4, 6–12 from D. cochinchinensis. We also indicate the chemotaxonomic importance of these metabolites.
