To search for secondary metabolites of Alnus hirsuta (Betulaceae), various chromatographic separations of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the stem bark of A. hirsuta led to the isolation of a new diarylheptanoid glycoside,(3R)-1, 7-bis-(4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-heptanol 3- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→ 3)-β-D-xylopyranoside (13) and twelve diarylheptanoid derivatives, namely, oregonin (1), rubranoside A (2), hirsutanonol 5-O-β-D- ...
