From aerial parts of Vestia lycioides, Fam. Solanaceae, endemic to Chile, several secondary metabolites were isolated : two pentacyclic triterpenes, 8amyrin and oleanolic acid; one simple coumarin, fraxetin, a new B-carboline acid, 1-acetyl-3-carboxy-p-carboline, and two steroidal sapogenins, one of them identified as diosgenin. The isolation of some of those metabolites is noteworthy to point out the relationships of Vestia with other genera of the Solanaceae.
