<p>The leaf extract of <em>Berberis orthobotrys </em>Bien. ex Aitch.<em> </em>(B.o.)<em> </em>afforded three compounds viz., β-sitosterol (<strong>1</strong>), sesamin (<strong>2</strong>) and 10-eicosanol (<strong>3</strong>) which were identified by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR, GC-MS, IR and comparison of their spectral data with the published data. To the best of our knowledge these three compounds are reported here for the first time to be isolated from <em>Berberis orthobotrys </em>Bien. ex Aitch.<em> </em>(B.o.). Moreover the root extract exhibited good antilieshmanial activity and root and fruit extracts demonstrated minor antifungal activity against <em>Fusarium solani</em>.</p>
