Abstract
Eight compounds were isolated from Maytenus floribunda (Reiss) Celastraceae.
The leaves of the plant yielded the steroids:
-sitosterol and
-sitosterol-
D-glucoside.
The bark wood yielded the polyol: dulcitol; the steroids:
-sitosterol and
-sitosterol-
D-glucoside; the flavonoids: 4’–O-methyl-(-)-epigallocatechin and proanthocyanidin A; and the pentacyclic triterpenes: friedelin, friedelinol and 28-hydroxy-3-oxo-friedelane.
