Abstract

From the fresh whole plants of Lemmaphyllum microphyllum var. obovatum (Polypodiaceae), we isolated two new oily tricyclic triterpenoid hydrocarbons, 13βH-malabraicatriene (1) and 13αH-malabaricatriene (2), having the malabaricane skeleton. Their structures were established by physicochemical methods. This is first example of the isolation of tricyclic triterpenoid hydrocarbons from a natural source.
