Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the roots of Calotropis procera Ait. (Asclepiadaceae) yields two new phytoconstituents procerursenyl acetate and proceranol together with the known compounds N-dotriacont-6-ene, glyceryl mono-oleolyl-2- phosphate, methyl myrisate, methyl behenate and glyceryl-1,2- dicapriate-3-phosphate. The structures of the new compounds have been identified as urs-18α-β-12,20(30)-diene-3β-yl acetate and n-triacontan -10β-ol on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions.
