Phytochemical study on the EtOAc-soluble fraction of the stem bark of
Populus davidiana resulted in the isolation of10 phenolic glycosides (
1-
10), which were identified on the basis of physicochemical and spectroscopic analyses.Among these, three new compounds, populosides A-C (
1-
3), were determined to be 2-coumaroylmethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl-

D-glucopyranoside, respectively. Compounds
1-
10 were tested for their radical scavenging activity against an azo radical,ABTS
+. Of these, populosides A-C (
1-
3), populoside (
4), grandidentatin (
8), salireposide (
9), and coumaroyl-

D-glucoside (
10) exhibited antioxidant activity in this assay.
