Pentacyclic triterpenoids from the aerial parts of Lantana camara

Abstract

Three new pentacyclic triterpenoids, camaryolic acid (1), methylcamaralate (2) and camangeloyl acid (3) and six known compounds β-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), octadecanoic acid (5), docosanoic acid (6), palmitic acid (7), camaric acid (8) and lantanolic acid (9) were isolated from the aerial parts of Lantana camara.
