title: Triterpenes from Adiantum lunulactum.
abstract: The petrol extract of the whole plant of Adiantum lunuactum yielded a new hopane triterpenoid characterized as 6 alpha-acetoxy-16 beta,22-dihydroxy-3-ketoisohopane, along with the known 3beta,6 alpha,16 beta,22-tetrahydroxyisohopane (mollugogenol A). The structures were elucidated by spectral as well as chemical studies.
