Taraxasteryl palmitate (I), taraxasteryl acetate (II), and taraxasterol (III) were isolated and identified from the ether extract of the flowers and the methanol extract of the leaves of Eupatorium fortunei TURCZ. (Compositae). I, II, and III were also isolated from the methanol extract of the leaves of E. chinense L. var. simplicifolium (MAKINO) KITAM., E. chinense L. subsp. sachadinense (FR. SCHM.) KITAM., and E. lindleyanum DC. Fumaric acid, succinic acid, and mannitol were isolated and identified from the leaves and stems of E. fortunei. Euparin was detected from the methanol extract of the roots of E. fortunei and E. lindleyanum, but not from the roots of E. chinense var. simplicifolium and H. chinense subsp. sachalinense.
