Abstract

The ethanolic extract of the fresh leaves of Calophyllum inophyllum afforded a pair of new epimers named as inophynone and isoinophynone. Their structures were elucidated with the aid of spectroscopic techniques. Some known constituents, cholesterol, friedelin, canophyllol and canophyllic acid, were also isolated from the same source.
