A new triterpenoid named 3,20-dihydroxy-30-nor-olean-12-ene-23,28 dioic acid ( along with 3-hydroxy-23-aldehyde-lup-20(29)-ene-28-oic acid (, 3-hydroxy-23-aldehyde-30-nor-olean-12,20(29)-diene-28-oic acid (, 3-hydroxy-lup-20(29)-ene-23,28 dioic acid ( 3-hydroxy-lup-20(29)-ene-23,28 dioic acid-23---D-glucopyranosyl ester (, 3---D-glucuronopyranosyl-lup-20(29)-ene-23,28 dioic acid-28---D-glucopyranosyl ester (, 3---D-glucuronopyranosyl-lup-20(29)-ene-23-aldehyde-28-oic acid-28---D glucopyranosyl ester ( were isolated for the first time from the aerial parts of (Forssk) Moq. Isolated pure compounds were structurally elucidated using spectral analysis. Cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antiulcer activities and antioxidant parameters were evaluated using the total methanol extract and its successive fractions.
