Abstract: Agarwood of Aquilaria crassna was extracted to analyze its chemical constituents,and 10 compounds were isolated from Et OAc fraction of the agarwood by column chromatography over silica gel,and Sephadex LH-20. Spectral analysis showed that the compounds were identified as 2-(2-phenylethyl) chromone(1),6-methoxy-2-(2-phenylethyl) chromone(2),2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl]chromone(3),6-methoxy-2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl]chromone(4),6,7-dimethoxy-2-(2-phenylethyl) chromone(5),5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl]chromone(6),6-methoxy-2-[2-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl) ethyl]chromone(7),6-methoxy-2-[2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl]chromone(8),6-hydroxy-2-[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl] chromone(9),and 6-hydroxy-2-[2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl]chromone(10). Compounds2-10 were isolated from the agarwood of Aquilaria crassna for the first time,and compounds 4,5,7 and 8showed inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase.
