Triterpenoids from and their anti-inflammatory and radical scavenging activity.

A phytochemical investigation on 90% methanol extract from the leaves of led to the isolation of three new triterpenoids, jugsigiloids A-C (-). Structural elucidation of all the compounds were performed by spectral methods such as 1 D and 2 D (H-H COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, in addition to high resolution mass spectrometry. The isolated components were evaluated for anti-inflammatory activities against COX-1 and COX-2 and radical scavenging potential using DPPH test.
