ABSTRACT
Phytochemical investigation of stem bark of Myrica esculenta Buch.-
Ham. syn. M. nagi Hook.f. (Myricaceae) led to the isolation of four
taraxerane-type triterpenoids characterized as 3β, 28, 30-
trihydroxytaraxara-23-oic acid (1), 3β, 28-dihydroxytaraxerane (2),
3β,30-dihydroxy- taraxerane-23-oic acid (3) and 3β, 12α, 28, 30-
tetrahydroxytaraxeran-23-oic acid (4) which were elucidated using
spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis.
