Chemical constituents of Almeidea coerulea (Nees & Mart.) A. St.-Hil. Rutaceae

Abstract

From the dichloromethane extract of Almeidea coerulea stem one triterpene, 20-hydroxy-dihydrolupeol was isolated (1) and from the methanol extract the known alkaloids dictamnine (2) and skimmianine (3), as well the steroids sitosterol (4) and stigmasterol (5). The identification of these compounds was performed on the basis of spectroscopic analyses (MS, ¹H NMR, 13C NMR, HSQC and HMBC) as well as comparison with literature data.
