The structure of a triterpene alcohol isolated from the nonsaponifiable lipids of both the root and aerial part extracts of Cimicifuga simplex (Ranunculaceae) was established to be cycloarta-16, 24-dien-3β-ol (1). Spectral identity of the 24, 25-dihydro derivative (4) of 1 with 24, 25-dihydrocimicifugenol demonstrated that cimicifugenol, previously assigned the erroneous structure of cycloarta-7, 24-dien-3β-ol, possesses structure 1.
