To investigate the chemical constituents of the aerial parts of Pogostemon cablin.The constituents were isolated by column chromatography over silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and C8. Structures were identified by spectroscopic data analysis.Thirteen compounds were obtained and elucidated as patchouli alcohol (1), pogostone (2), friedelin (3), epifriedelinol (4), oleanolic acid (5), methyl oleanolate (6), 5alpha-stigmast-3,6-dione (7), stigmast-4-ene-3-one (8), beta-sitosterol (9), pachypodol (10), retusin (11), (-)-guaiacylglycerol (12) and dibutyl phthalate (13).Compounds 6, 7, 8, 12 and 13 are isolated from this genus for the first time.
