Abstract: | A new triterpenoid, 1α,7α-diacetoxyapotirucall-14-ene-3α,21,22,24,25-pentaol (1), and the two known compounds odoratone (2) and 2β,3β,4β-trihydroxypregnan-16-one (3) were isolated from a methanolic extract of the seed kernels of Azadirachta indica. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral methods. |
