Description
Summary:The wide-ranging medicinal values of Cayratia trifolia (L.) Domin. are well-documented both in folk medicine and pharmacological studies. This study was conducted to investigate the chemical constituents of the dichloromethane extract of the air-dried leaves of C. trifolia. This led to the isolation of a mixture of β-sitosterol (1) and stigmasterol (2) in about 5:1 ratio, squalene (3) and lutein (4). The structures of 1-4 were identified by comparison of their 13C NMR data with those reported in the literature.
