Lycium barbarum (Solanaceae) is a well known traditional Chinese medicine used for enhancing liver and kidney functions and is recorded as Goqizi in Chinese pharmacopoeia [1]. Four new (1–4) together with 11 known galactolipids were isolated from the fruits of Lycium barbarum. Their structures were elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic analyses methods GC-MS, HRESIMS and 1- and 2-D NMR.
