Abstract:
A new long-chained ester named vogelate has been isolated from leaves of Erythrina vogelii, a Cameroonian Fabaceous plant, along with seven known constituents [erythrinasinate, 2,3-dihydro-auriculatin, soyasapogenol-B, cinnamic acid, methyl gallate, β-sitosterol and β-sitosterol glucoside] which have never been reported so far from this species. Their structures were elucidated with the aid of spectroscopic methods.
