A new steroid from chloroform extract of Tamarix indica

Abstract

A new steroid compound along with four known  compounds were first time purified  from the chloroform soluble fraction of the Tamarix indica. The structures of the isolated compounds were characterized on the basis of modern sophisticated, EIMS, HREIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. The known compounds were recognized as Lupeol (2)  Stigmasterol (3) , Ursolic acid (4), Oleanolic acid (5) and computational analysis of new compounds were also done.
