Five pohenolic compounds were isolated from 80% aq. acetone extract of Duchesnea chyrysantha. Their crytotoxicities were screened by the colorimetric tetrazolium assay (MIT assay). Gallic acid, methyl caffeate, protocatechuic acid and pedunculagin mildly inhibited the survival of $PC_{14}{\;}and{\;}MKN_{45}$ human cancer cell. Brevifolin carboxylic acid showed a strong cytotoxic activity.
