Normethyl pentacyclic and lanostane-type triterpenes from Adiantum venustum

Phytochemistry. 2000 May;54(2):215-20. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(00)00063-7.

Abstract

Phytochemical studies on the aerial parts of Adiantum venustum resulted in the isolation of normethyl lupane-type, a normethyl oleanane-type and a lanostane-type triterpene. Structures of these triterpenes have been established as 30-normethyl lupane-20-one, 30-normethyl olean-3-one-30 beta-ol and lanost-20(22)-ene-30-ol on the basis of spectral data analyses and chemical methods.
