Pentacyclic triterpenoids from Mallotus apelta

Arch Pharm Res. 2004 Nov;27(11):1109-13. doi: 10.1007/BF02975113.

Abstract

A new triterpene (1) and six known pentacyclic terpenoids (2-7) were isolated from the methanol extract of the dried leaves from Mallotus apelta. Based on the spectral and chemical evidence, their structures were determined to be 3alpha-hydroxyhop-22(29)-ene (1), hennadiol (2), friedelin (3), friedelanol (4), epifriedelanol (5), taraxerone (6), and epitaraxerol (7).
