    The dried powdered leaves of Globimetula braunii (Engler) Van Tiegh were effectively extracted by the cold extraction method. Purification of the EtOAc-soluble and MeOH-soluble extracts successfully yielded two lactones namely (R)-6-[(S)-2-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butyl]–5,6-dihydropyran-2-one (dodoneine) 1 and (1R,5S,7S)-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]-nonan-3-one (2), together with five flavonoids namely quercetin 3, (+)-catechin 4, quercitrin 5, rutin 6 and avicularin 7. Their structures were established by spectroscopic means, and the absolute configuration of compound 1 was confirmed by X-ray analysis
