Seventeen compounds, including six rotenoids (1-6), seven isoflavones (7-13), one stilbene (14) and three benzoic acid derivatives (15-17) were isolated from the seeds of Amorpha fruticosa. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and by comparison of their reported spectral data. Among them, compound 4 was firstly purified as a natural product, compounds 5, 8 12 and 15 17 were...
