Abstract
The methanol soluble part of Lotus garcinii, belonging to the family Fabace ae, yielded three new interesting metabolites: garceine (1), garoside (2) a nd garthiol (3), which have never been detected from any natural source. In addition, isophytol, hexadecanoic acid, cholesterol, oleanolic acid, butul inic acid and lupeol were also obtained for the first time from L. garcinii . All the isolated metabolites were characterized by spectroscopic means.
