Three new water-soluble constituents [ficuscarpanoside B (1), (7E,9Z)-dihydrophaseic acid 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4) and ficuscarpanic acid (6)] and the natural product 2,2′-dihydroxyl ether (7) have been isolated, together with three known compounds [(7S,8R)-syringoylglycerol (2), (7S,8R)-syringoylglycerol-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3) and icariside D 2 (5)] from the aerial roots of Ficus microcarpa. Identification of their structures was achieved by 1D and 2D NMR experiments, including 1 H- 1 H COSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC methods and FAB mass spectral data.
