Abstract: A new phenylpropanoid (1) together with five known triterpenoids were isolated from the spikes of Prunella vulgaris. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral analysis as 3,4,α-trihydroxy-butyl phenylpropionate (1),2α,3α,24-trihydroxyursa-12,20(30)-dien-28-oic acid (2), 2α,3α, 24-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28- oic acid (3), 2α,3α,24-trihydroxyursa-12-en-28-oic acid (4), 2α,3β-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (5) and 2α,3β-dihydroxyursa-12-en-28-oic acid (6). Five triterpenoids were isolated from this plant for the first time.
