title: [Chemical components of Boswellia carterii].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the chemical components of Boswellia carterii.
  
  
  METHODS
  Chromatographic technologies were used for separation and purification, while spectral analysis was used for structure elucidation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Six compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as acetyl-alpha-boswellic acid (1), acetyl-beta-boswellic acid (2), lup-20(29)-ene-3 alpha-acetoxy-24-oic acid (3), alpha-boswellic acid (4), beta-boswellic acid (5) and acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (6).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compound 3 is a new constituent.
