title: Phytochemical investigation of Aglaia rubiginosa.
abstract: The phytochemical investigation of a methanolic leaf extract of Aglaia rubiginosa furnished 15 isoprenoid constituents, eight of which represented new natural entities. Two androstane derivatives (1 and 2), previously synthesized, and also obtained by microbiological transformations; an extraordinary 17-octanor-cycloartane-ring-A-seco acid (3); four cycloartane-type triterpenes (4-7); and three unusual cholesterol derivatives (8-10) were isolated, along with two known dammaranes (11 and 12), a stigmastandiol (13), and beta-sitosterol and its beta-D-glucoside. Spectroscopic structure elucidation of the new natural products (1-3, 6, 7, 8-10) is described.
