Chemical constituents of Melanolepis multiglandulosa (Reinw. Ex blume)

Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extracts of Melanolepis multiglandulosa (Reinw. ex Blume) yielded taraxeryl fatty acid esters (1), squalene (2), (E)-3-alkenoic acids (3), ß-carotene (4), a mixture of ß-sitosterol (5a) and stigmasterol (5b), long-chain fatty alcohols (6), and long-chain hydrocarbons (7) from the leaves; and 7, triacylglycerols (8), and long-chain saturated fatty acid esters (9) from the twigs. The structures of 1-9 were identified by comparison of their NMR data with literature data.
