Bioassay‐guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of Geum japonicum Thunb. var. chinense using the fatty acid synthase inhibition assay led to the isolation of a new dimeric ellagitannin, gemin G ( 1 ), together with six known compounds, gemin A ( 2 ), casuarinin ( 3 ), pedunculagin ( 4 ), potentillin ( 5 ) , tellimagrandin II ( 6 ), and ellagic acid ( 7 ). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1 – 7 displayed strong inhibitory activities on fatty acid synthase with IC 50 values in the range of 0.21–41.4 μ M . Compounds 1 – 4 exhibited significant antioxidant activities higher than vitamin C in the ORAC assay. Compounds 1 and 2 also showed weak cytotoxic effects on BGC‐823 cell.
