Twenty-one compounds, including ten triterpenoids (1–10), two sterols (11 and 12), six flavonoids (13–18), and three cerebrosides (19–21) were isolated from the fruit of Zizyphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa (Bunge) Hu ex. H. F. Chou. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and by comparison of their reported spectral data. These compounds have shown the relationship between this plant and other species from the Rhamnaceae family. •We studied the chemical constituents of the fruit of Zizyphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa and obtained twenty-one compounds.•The structures of compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.•Compounds 11–15 and 19–21 were firstly obtained from genus Zizyphus.•The obtained constituents showed the relationships among the plants of Rhamnaceae family.
