), beta -sitosteryl-D-glucoside (18), stigmasteryl-D-glucoside (19) and 6-O
-palmitoyl-beta -sitosteryl-D-glucoside (20), were isolated from the fruits
and stems of Annona glabra. Among them, 1 is a novel dioxoaporphine alkalo
id and 12 was obtained for the first time from natural sources. These compo
unds were characterized and identified by physical and spectral evidence.
