Three hiherto unknown phenylpropanoid compounds, namely (7 S ,8 R )‐1‐(1‐ethoxy‐2‐hydroxypropyl)‐2‐methoxy‐3,4‐(methylenedioxy)benzene ( 1 ), (7 S ,8 S )‐1‐(1‐ethoxy‐2‐hydroxypropyl)‐2‐methoxy‐3,4‐(methylenedioxy)benzene ( 2 ), and (7 S ,8 R )‐1‐(1‐methoxy‐2‐hydroxypropyl)‐2‐methoxy‐3,4‐(methylenedioxy)benzene ( 3 ), along with 12 known compounds ( 4 – 15 ) were obtained from the extract of whole plant of Chloranthus anhuiensis . Among them, 7 and 13 were obtained from nature for the first time. The structures of these natural compounds were characterized by extensive spectroscopic analysis and calculated electronic circular dichroism ( ECD ) data. Furthermore, their cytotoxic and neuroprotective activities were evaluated using MDA ‐ MB ‐231, 4T1, HepG2, and PC 12 cell lines. Compounds 8 and 13 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities against MDA ‐ MB ‐231 cell line with the IC 50 values of 39.7 and 25.8 μ m , respectively. And all the isolated compounds have no neuroprotective activities.
