<jats:p> Two new phenolic compounds, 2,4,6-trihydroxy-5-methyl-acetophenone 2- O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), and benzyl alcohol 7- O-(3’,4’,6’-tri- O-galloyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), together with eight known phenolic compounds, were isolated from the 70% aqueous acetone extract of Eucalyptus gomphocephala DC. (Myrtaceae). The isolated compounds were elucidated based on their <jats:sup>1</jats:sup>H, <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C, DQF-COSY, selective 1D-TOCSY, HSQC, and HMBC NMR spectroscopic; and ESIMS data. The antioxidant effect of the phenolic compounds was tested using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH<jats:sup>.</jats:sup>), hydroxyl radical and super oxide anion radical scavenging assays. The cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds was evaluated using HeLa cell line.
