Bioactivity guided fractionation of an ethanolic extract of the stem b
ark of Aglaia leucophylla led to the isolation of two new 3,4-secotiru
callane type triterpenoids, namely 4Z)-3,4-secotirucalla-4(28),7,24-tr
iene-3,26-dioic acid and its 3-monomethyl ester, together with five kn
own triterpenoids [(+)-ocotillone, (+)-ocotillol, (+)-cabraleone, (+)-
cabralealactone and (+)-eichlerianic acid] and one known sesquiterpene
[(-)-caryophyllene oxide].
