A new 28-nor-oleanane triterpene, 28-nor-olean-2,3β-dihydroxy-14,17-diene-16-one with a rare cyclohexa-2,5-dienone moiety, together with three known triterpenes, viz. β-amyrin (2), 3α-O-trans-coumaroyl-betulinic acid (3), 3-acetyl-aleuritolic acid (4), were isolated from the twigs of Excoecaria agallocha L.. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with previous literatures (known compounds).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
