Fourteen compounds including eight triterpenoids, 12‐oleanaen‐3β‐ol (β‐amyrin) ( 1 ), 12‐oleanaen‐3β‐caffeate ( 2 ), 9(11),12‐oleanadien‐3β‐ol ( 3 ), 9(11),12‐oleanadien‐3‐one ( 4 ), 9(11),12‐oleanadien‐3 β‐caffeate ( 5 ), friedela‐3‐one (friedelin) ( 6 ), friedela‐3‐one‐29‐ol ( 7 ), and 12‐gammateraen‐3 β‐ol (tetrehymanol) ( 8 ); one steroid, β‐sitosterol ( 9 ); one long‐chain acid, octadecadienoic acid ( 10 ); two esters, ester of n ‐octaolecyl‐4‐hydroxy‐cinnamate ( 11 ), and ester of n ‐octadecyl‐caffeic acid ( 12 ); one diterpene, 8β,19‐dihydroxy‐3‐oxopimar‐15‐ene ( 13 ); one sesquiterpene, 1β,2β,9α‐trihydroxy‐β‐dihydroagarofuran ( 14 ) were isolated from the aerial part of Celastrus hypoleucus . These compounds were characterized and identified by physical and spectral methods. All compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant. Among them 12‐oleanaen‐3β‐caffeate ( 2 ) and 9(11),12‐oleanadien‐3β‐caffeate ( 5 ) are two new compounds, and ester of n ‐octadecyl‐caffeic acid (12) possessed antilipoperoxidative effect by specifically scavenging the hydroxyl free radical (•OH) in vitro .
