As a series of studies on the chemical constituents and biological activities of Formosan plants, the root bark of Zanthoxylum ailanthoides (Rutaceae), the stem of Zanthoxylum beecheyanum (Rutaceae), the leaves of Zanthoxylum schinifolium (Rutaceae), the stem wood of Machilus zuihoensis (Lauraceae), the whole plants of Peperomia sui (Piperaceae) were investigated. Three hundred and one compounds have been isolated from the above plants and deduced the same constituents, 211 different compounds have been obtained. Among them, 20 compounds are new compounds. Four new compounds together with 110 known compounds were isolated and characterized from the root bark of Z. ailanthoides (Rutaceae). The structures were elucidated by spectral analyses and comparison of their physical and spectral data with literature. The new compounds included hydroxy lanyuamide I, hydroxy lanyuamide II, 10β-methoxymuurolan-4-en-3-one and 10α-methoxycadinan-4-en-3-one. Some of the isolated compounds were subjected to the evaluation of their anti-HIV activities. Furoquinolines [haplopine and γ-fagarine];benzo[c]phenanthridine: [decarine];coumarins: [O-methylcedrelopsin, isopimpinellin and 5,7,8-trimethoxycoumarin] and amides: [(+)-tembamide and O-methyltambamide] were found to possess significant anti-HIV activities. Two new compounds, (+)-beechenol and beecheyamide, together with 56 known compounds were separated and characterized from the stem of Z. beecheyanum (Rutaceae). The structures were elucidated by spectral analyses and comparison of their physical and spectral data with literature. One new compounds namely cis-fagaramide together with 50 known compounds were obtained and characterized from the leaves of Z. schinifolium (Rutaceae). Compounds isolated from Z. beecheyanum and Z. schinifolium were subjected to the evaluation of their anti-platelet aggregation activities. Some coumarins, benzo[c]phenanthridine, quinoline and aporphine showed significant inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by AA, collagen and PAF. Nine new compounds namely machilactone, machicolide A, machicolide B, secomahubanolide, 3-(1-methoxy-octadecyl)-5-methylene-5H-furan-2-one, methyl (2E)-2-(1-hydroxy-2-oxopropyl)-eicos-2-enoate, mahubanolide, machillene and 3,4-dihydroxy β-bisabolol together with 17 known compounds were obtained and characterized from the stem wood of M. zuihoensis (Lauraceae). The structures were elucidated by spectral analyses and comparison of their physical and spectral data with literature. Four new compounds, surinone A~C and suranone, together with 48 known compounds were obtained and characterized from the leaves of P. sui (Piperaceae). The structures were elucidated by means of spectral analyses and comparison of their physical and spectral data with literature. Some of the compounds isolated from M. zuihoensis and P. sui were subjected to the evaluation of cytotoxicity activities. Methyl (2E)-2-(1-hydroxy-2-oxopropyl)-eicos-2-enoate, β-bisabolol and machillene isolated from M. zuihoensis; proctorione C、surinone A、surinone C and peperomin E isolated from P. sui exhibited cytotoxic activity against NUGC-3 and HONE-1 tumor cell lines, respectively.
