Twenty-four compounds were obtained from the extract of the leaves of I. urceolatus, which were divided into saturated fatty alcohols (1 and 2), triterpenoids (3–8 and 14–16), lignanoids (9, 20 and 22), coumarins (10 and 19), flavonoids (11–13, 21, 23 and 24) and others (17 and 18). Among them, compounds 1, 2, 17 and 18 were firstly obtained from the genus Ilex, others were isolated from this species for the first time. The chemotaxonomic relationships between I. urceolatus and other species of genus Ilex were also discussed. As a result, the isolated compounds closely matched the ones obtained in other species of the genus. •We isolated twenty-four compounds from Ilex urceolatus.•The structures of obtained compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.•Four compounds were firstly isolated from genus Ilex, others were firstly obtained from this species.•I. urceolatus had close relationships with other species from Ilex.
