A new polyoxygenated pregnane genin and a new diphenylmethane, along with five known pregnane derivatives, were isolated from the root barks of Periploca sepium. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated as (3 β ,14 β )‐3,14‐dihydroxy‐21‐methoxypregn‐5‐en‐20‐one ( 1 ) and 2‐hydroxy‐5‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxybenzyl)‐4‐methoxybenzaldehyde ( 2 ) on the basis of spectroscopic methods, especially 2D‐NMR and MS analyses. The known compounds were identified by comparing their physical and spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature.
