Abstract

Abstract Five endemic species of Euphorbiaceae have been investigated. Aleuritolic acid and its derivatives were isolated from P. thwaitesii . A. cardiosperma had friedelan derivatives. The Glochidion species contained the same triterpenes, viz. glochidonol, lup-20(29)-ene-3α,23-diol and glochidiol. The bark extractives of a new Glochidion species had, in addition, glochidone and probably lup-20(29)-ene-1α,3α,23-triol. The latter is a new natural product. Glochidone was isolated for the first time outside the genus Glochidion from Bridelia moonii .
