title: Triterpenoids from leaves of Elaeophorbia drupifera.
abstract: A survey of the hexane extract of the leaves of Elaeophorbia drupifera led to the isolation of a new triterpenoid named elaeophorbate [methyl 4,4,8,10,13,14-hexamethyl-1,17-di (prop-1-en-2-yl)hexadecahydro-1H-cyclo penta[a]phenanthrene-3-carboxylate, 5] and eight known triterpenoids. Based on spectroscopic methods, coupled with high resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry the structures of all the compounds were elucidated.
