Triterpenoid Constituents of Ficus thunbergii

Abstract

Two new triterpenoids, rhoiptelenol and 3a-hydroxy-isohop-22(29)-en-24-oic acid, were isolated from the fresh leaves and stems of Ficus thunbergii Max. (Moraceae), and their structures were determined by spectral and chemical methods. Along with these new compounds, known triterpenoids lupenyl acetate, β-amyrin acetate, a-amyrin acetate, lupeol, β-amyrin, a-amyrin, taraxerol, glutinol, ursolic acid and betulinic acid were obtained from the leaves and stems. © 1994, The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
