Abstract

Two new dammarane triterpenes have been isolated from the stem bark exudates of Maytenus macrocarpa. Their structures were determined by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies as 24(Z)-3-oxodammara-20(21),24-dien-27-oic acid (1) and octa-nor-13-hydroxydammara-1-en-3,17-dione (2). These compounds were tested for antitumoral activity.
