Chemical constituents from the leaves and stems of Croton sellowii (Euphorbiaceae)

This work describes the isolation of terpenoids (sitosterol, stigmasterol, cycloart-25-ene-3b,24b-diol, cycloart-25-ene-3b,24a-diol and betulonic acid), flavonoids (artemetin, crysosplenetin, casticin, penduletin and tiliroside) and phenylpropanoid (threo-7-ethoxy-8-hydroxy-dihydroanol) from the leaves and stems of Croton sellowii Baill. All isolated compounds are being described for the first time in this species and were identified on basis of the spectral data (IR, UV, and NMR, including APT, DEPT, COSY, NOESY, HMQC and HMBC), and by comparison with literature data.
