title: Methyl gardenolate A, a novel cycloartenoid ester from the leaves of Combretum woodii (Combretaceae).
abstract: Isolation of the novel cycloartenoid ester methyl gardenolate A (3a), together with gardenolic acid A (2a) and the unusual triterpenoid xi-glutinol (D:B-friedoolean-5-en-3xi-ol) (1a) from the leaves of Combretum woodii support its differentiation from the closely related C. krausii.
