Lasia spinosa L. (Araceae) has been used in the Vietnamese traditional and folk medicine for treating sore throat, cough, nephritis, rheumatism, liver diseases (hepatitis, ascitic cirrhosis), sequels of malaria and skin diseases. In this primary study on chemical constituents of Lasia spinosa L., leaf powder and root powder of Lasia spinosa L. were leached with n-hexan, CHCl3 and MeOH solvents, three times for each solvent. 5 compounds including p-hydroxy benzaldehyde, acid p-hydroxybenzoic, acid 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzoic, 2-(4’- methoxyphenyl)-ethanol, adenine were isolated by spectroscopic methods
