Three new phenolic compounds with a novel skeleton were isolated from the underground parts of Achlys triphylla (Berberidaceae). The structures were established by means of spectroscopic methods to be 7-geranyl-6, 8-dihydroxy-3-(4'-hydroxyphenylethyl)isocoumarin (1__∼) for achlisocoumarin I, 7-geranyl-6, 8-dihydroxy-3-(4'-hydroxyphenylethenyl)isocoumarin (2__∼) for achlisocoumarin II, and 6, 8-dihydroxy-3-(3', 4'-dihydroxyphenylethenyl)isocoumarin (3__∼) for achlisocoumarin III, respectively.
