Abstract:
Thirteen compounds were isolated from the stem bark of
Bombax ceiba L. by silica gel, and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic analysis as: lupeol(
1 ), lupeone(
2 ), betulinic acid(
3 ), zeorin(
4 ), oleanolic acid(
5 ), 3-oxooleanolic acid(
6 ), cleomiscosin A(
7 ), (±)-lyoniresinol(
8 ), desmosterol(
9 ), stigma-3, 6-dione(
10 ), (+)-lasiodiploidin(
11 ), aurantiamide acetate(
12 ), and(2

3 ,
4 ,
6 ,
7 -
13 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
