Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts and latex of from Jordan, utilizing column chromatography accompanied with NMR (1 & 2D), IR, UV, and HR-ESI-Mass spectroscopy have led to the isolation and characterization of two new compounds, pergularol and 3-O-acetyl-28-hydroxytaraxasterol for the first time along with other ten known compounds including linoleic acid , 3'-didehydroafroside , apigenin , β-sitosteryl glucoside , luteolin , apigenin 7-(6''-crotonoyl)glucoside , 3'-O-β-glucopyranosylcalotropin , apigenin-7-O-β-D-glycoside , pergularine A , taraxasterol . Compound is isolated for the first time from genus.

All isolated compounds were identified by thorough investigation of their spectral data including NMR and HRESIMS. Antioxidant activity testing of puerol B, specionin and the new cyclic polyketide revealed that puerol B had the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC 0.
