    • Main Results:

    • Isolation of five new compounds: two benzophenones, one xanthone, one bisanthraquinone glycoside, and one phenylpropanoid derivative.
    • Identification of 16 known compounds from the anti-HBV active fraction.
    • Elucidation of the structures of all isolated compounds.
    • Determination of the stereochemistry of the bisanthraquinone glycoside.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully isolated and characterized several novel compounds from Hypericum sampsonii.
    • The identified compounds, particularly the new benzophenones and bisanthraquinone glycoside, exhibit promising anti-HBV activity.
    • These findings contribute to the understanding of Hypericum sampsonii's chemical constituents and their potential therapeutic applications against HBV.
