Three sesquiterpene lactone compounds, two novel(1.betha.,3.betha.-dihydroxy-6.betha.,11.betha.,4.alpha.,5.alpha.,7.alpha.H -eudesm-12, 6-olide-1-O-.betha.-D-glucopyranoside, 1.betha.,3.betha.-dihydroxy-6.betha.,11.betha.,4.alpha.,5.alpha.,7.alpha.H-eudes m-12,6-olide-1-O-.betha.-D-glucopyranoside) and 1.betha.,3.betha.-dihydroxy-6.betha.,11.betha.,4.alpha.,5.alpha., 7.alpha.H-eudesm-12,6-olide were isolated from the aqueous fraction of MeOH extract of the roots from Taraxacum hallaisanensis (Compositae) employing Amberlite XAD-2, ODS-gel, silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatographics. Another known compound, (-)-epicatechin, was isolated from the aqueous fraction of the MeOH extract. The total MeOH extract also contained phytosterol and a mixture of .betha.-amyrin acetate, .alpha.-amyrin acetate and lupeol acetate. Structures of isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic parameters of IR, Mass, /sup 13/C-NMR, /sup 1/H-NMR, /sup 1/H-/sup 1/H COSY, /sup 13/C-/sup 1/H COSY and HMBC.
