Three new fukiic acid esters, cimicifugic acids A (1), B (2), and C (3), were isolated along with fukinolic acid (4), fukiic acid (5), caffeic acid (6), ferulic acid (7), isoferulic acid (8), 3, 4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (9) and p-coumaric acid (10) from Cimicifuga simplex. Their structures were identified as 2-feruloyl, 2-isoferuloyl, and 2-p-coumaroyl fukiic acid (1-3) on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical data.
