Abstract
The occurrence of 24-epiclerosterol, three Δ 8(14)-sterols [24α- and 24β-methyl-5α-cholest-8(14)-en-3β-ols and 24α-ethyl-5α-cholest-8(14)-en-3β-ol] and four 14α-methyl-Δ 9(11)-sterols [14α,24α- and 14α,24β-dimethyl-5α-cholest-9(11)-en-3β-ols, 14α-methyl-24α-ethyl-5α-cholest-9(11)-en-3β-ol and 14α-methyl-24β-ethyl-5a-cholesta-9(11),25-dien-3β-ol] has been demonstrated in the seeds of four Leguminosae species, Cajanus cajan, Cicer arietinum, Pisum sativum and Vigna mungo. These compounds were minor sterol constituents. In addition, 24α-ethyl-5α-cholest-9(11)-en-3β-ol and 24-methylenepollinastanol were isolated and identified from V. mungo seeds. Sitosterol was the principal sterol in all of the four Leguminosae seeds investigated.
