Abstract: Four taxoids, lβ-hydroxy-2α, 7β-deacetylbaccatin I (1), lβ-hydroxybaccatin I (2) , 2α, 5α, 7β, 9α, 10β, 13α-hexaacetoxy-4 (20), 11-taxadiene (3) and 2-deacetoxy-5-decinnamoyl taxinine J (4), among which compound 1 was a new one, were isolated from the leaves and stems of Taxus chinensis. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques.
