From the stem bark of Picrolemma granatensis were isolated two novel t
etranortriterpenoids: ,27-tetranorapotirucall-14,20(22)-dien-21,23-oli
de and -tetranorapotirucall-1,14,20(22)-trien-21,23-olide which were i
dentified on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical methods. The trit
erpene melianodiol, the quassinoids simalikalactone-D, 2'-epi-simalika
lactone-D and ailanthinone, the sterols sitosterol, stigmasterol and c
ampesterol were also identified.
