Abstract
Caesalpinia crista L. (family Caesalpiniaceae) is a large scandent prickly evergreen shrub widely distributed in south-eastern Asia, Nigeria and Pacific region. The leaves are useful to cure skin infections, sore throat, intestinal worms, hepatic disorders, malaria and leprosy. Phytochemical investigation of a methanolic extract of the leaves of C. crista afforded two new cheilanthane-type tricarbocyclic sesterterpenoids characterized as 4a,4b,8b,13b-tetramethyl-14-(17-methyl-pent-14-enyl)-perhydrophenanthrene-11a-ol-22-oic acid (1, cristasesterterpenoic acid) and 4a,4b,8b,10b,13b- pentamethyl-14-(-17-methylpent-14-enyl)-perhydrophenanthrene-3b-olyl-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (2, cristasesterterpinol glucoside). The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions.
