title: Triterpenoids from the stem bark of Rhizophora mucronata.
abstract: Three triterpenoids from the chloroform extract of the stem bark of Rhizophora mucronata (Rhizophoraceae) were isolated. The structures of these isolated compounds were identified by spectroscopic analysis as 3beta-O-(E)-(4-methoxy) cinnamoyl-15 alpha-hydroxyl beta-amyrin (1), adian-5-en 3-ol (2) and lupeol (3). Such compounds are being reported for the first time from this plant.
