Triterpenoids from the fruit barks of Periploca laevigata growing in Tunisia

Written by sctunisie no comments

Three compounds, previously identified in other natural sources, have been isolated for the first time from the fruit barks of Periploca laevigata (Asclepiadaceae): oleanolic acid 1, maslinic acid 2 and β-sitosterol-3-β-D-glucoside 4. β-amyrine 3 has been also re-isolated. Their structures have been established by spectroscopic procedures.
