Eleven compounds, including a new compound, methyl 3-phenylpropionate-1-O-glucuronic acid methyl ester (1), four known biflavones 2–5, one known flavone (6), and five other known compounds (7–11) have been isolated from the pericarp of Garcinia yunnanensis. Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis and by comparison of their spectral data with those in the published literatures. All the compounds were isolated from G. yunnanensis for the first time and screened for their scavenging activity against DPPH radicals. Of all the samples tested, compounds 1–6 showed significant activities with IC50 values of 1.83, 0.87, 0.17, 3.51, 0.75, and 2.21 mM, respectively.
