Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of Cycas curanii led to the isolation of squalene (1), lutein (2), chlorophyll a (3), phytol (4), long chain 1-alkene (5), and triacylglycerols (6) from the leaflets; 1, 6, and β-sitosteryl fatty acid ester (7) from the sarcotesta; 6 and β-sitosterol (8) from the bark; 7 and a mixture of 8 and stigmasterol (9) from the lamina; 6 and 8 from the endotesta; 6, β-sitosterone (10), a mixture of 7 and phytyl fatty acid ester (11), and a mixture of 8 and 9 from the petiole; 6 and 8 from the roots; and 8 from the sclerotesta. The structures of 1-11 were identified by comparison of their NMR data with those reported in the literature. © 2015, International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research.
