Abstract
A new triterpenoid, 23-hydroxy-24-methylenecycloartanol, and the known compounds, lupeol,
and
and sitosterol-3-O-B-glucopyranoside
oleanolic acid, stigmasterol-3-O-B-glucopyranoside
betulin, were isolated from the aerialparts of Sarcococcacoriacea (Hook. F.) Sweet(Buxaceae).
Their structures were assigned on the basis of spectral data. The dichloromethane extract was
found cytotoxic while the methanol extract showed enzpe inhibition of polygalacturonase.
Keylvords: Sarcococcacoriacea(Hook. F.) Sweet;Aerial parts; Triterpenoid
