title: Croton lobatus, an African medicinal plant: spectroscopic and chemical elucidation of its many constituents.
abstract: The chemical constituents of the African medicinal plant Croton lobatus were elucidated and characterised using 1D and 2D-NMR analysis and the application of the technique of High Resolution Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry (HREIMS) and High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS). The novel triglyceride lobaceride or 3-((6Z,9Z)dodeca-6,9-dienoyloxy)-2-octanoyloxypropyl (6Z,9Z)dodeca-6,9-dienoate, along with ten compounds were isolated from the stems and leaves of Croton lobatus.
