Using the bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation technique, two $PLC{\gamma}1$ inhibitors were isolated from the sarcotestas of Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae). The structures of these compounds were identified as (3R)-(-)-8-hydroxy-3-(6'-pentadecenyl)3,4-dihydroisocoumarin (1) and 3-heptadecen-2-one (2) by UV, IR, MS, $^1H-NMR$, $^{13}C-NMR$ and $^1H-^{13}C\;COSY$. Isolate compounds 1 and 2 have not been reported previously from the sarcotestas of G. biloba and Ginkgoaceae, respectively. In addtion, these compounds showed significant $PLC{\gamma}1$ inhibitory effects with the $IC_{50}$ of the 9.7 (1) and $25.6\;{\mu}M\;(2)$.
