title: Fibrarecisin, a novel triterpenoid from Fibraurea recisa with antitumor activity.
abstract: Fibrarecisin (1), a novel triterpenoid, was isolated from chloroform extract of the stem bark of Fibraurea recisa Pierre. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Compound 1 exhibited significant antitumor activity in vitro against A-549 cancer cell at 10 microM by SRB and MTT methods.
