Abstract:

Eight compounds were isolated from the 95% extract of the traditional Chinese herb Radix Aerio Fici Microcarpae L. by using silica gel column chromatography and recrytallization. On the basis of physicochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis, they were identified as α-amyrin acetate (1), lupeol acetate (2), friedelin (3), friedelinol (4), 1-pentatriacontanol (5), betulinic acid (6), β-sitosterol (7), and tigmast-4-en-6β-ol-3-one (8), respectively. These compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time with the exception of compound 6.

Key words: Radix Aerio Fici Microcarpae L., active fraction, triterpenoids
