Hua Zhu, Peng Fu and Deng Feng Zou

Abstract: Five compounds were isolated from the leaves of petroleum ether extract of Nervilia foadii by silica gel column and recrystallization. These compounds were identified through spectral analysis (IR, UV, ¹HNMR, ¹³CNMR, MS) as lupane-17-(29-propylol) (1), octacosanoic acid (2), 23-lanostene-3-alcohol (3), 22, 24-cyc-loartenone-3-α-p-hydroxy-cassia-acid (4), hexodecanoic acid (5).
