Abstract

The seeds of nine Leguminosae plants were investigated for their triterpene alcohol constituents. This led to the isolation and identification of 25 triterpene alcohols including one new compound, 24Z-ethylidene-24-dihydroparkeol, and three series of skeletal double bond isomers of lanostane-type compounds, 9β, 19-cyclolanostanes, and Δ 8- and Δ 9(11)-lanostenes. The occurrence of eight 3-oxo steroids was also demonstrated. β-Amyrin was the principal triterpene alcohol found in five of the Leguminosae seeds investigated.
