Triterpenoids from the stem bark of Rhizophora mucronata.
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.
