Chemical constituents of the bark of Aleurites moluccana L. Willd.
Abstract
The dichloromethane extract of the bark of Aleurites moluccana L. Willd. afforded 12-hydroxy-13-methoxy-8,11,13- podocarpatrien-3-one (1), spruceanol (2), 3-acetylaleuritolic acid (3), polyprenols, triglycerides and a mixture of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol in a 4:1 ratio. The structures of 1-3 were elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy.
