(= Vernicia fordii Hemsl., Euphorbiaceae), known as tung oil tree, is widely distributed throughout Northeast Asia [1]. The fruits, leaves, and roots of

• 14 known analogues (4–14 and 17–19). The structural elucidation of the new compounds was performed through the analysis of their NMR, HRMS, and ECD spectra and by chemical methods. All isolated compounds were tested for their antineuroinflammatory and neuroprotective activities. Keywords: Aleurites
