Vu. Ahmad et al., BONDENOLIDE, A NEW DITERPENOID FROM THE SEEDS OF CAESALPINIA BONDUC, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 52(3), 1997, pp. 410-412
A new diterpenoid named as bondenolide (1) was isolated from the ethyl
acetate soluble part of the methanolic extract of Caesalpinia bonduc
(seeds). In addition to 1, four known triterpenoids: alpha-amyrin [12-
ursen-3 beta-ol], beta-amyrin [12-oleanen-3 beta-ol], lup-20(29)-en-3
beta-ol, lup-20(29)-en-3 beta-yl acetate and two known sterols: beta-s
itosterol [24(R)-stigmast-5-en-3 beta-ol] and beta-sitosteryl galactos
ide [3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-stigmasta-5-enen] were also isolated
from the same source.
