Abstract

10α-Cucurbita-5,24-dien-3β-ol was isolated from the unsaponifiable matter of the seed oil of gourd (Lagenaria leucantha var.Gourda; Cucurbitaceae); it has been previously synthesized, but never found in the plant kingdom. The triterpene alcohol represents the parent compound of a number of cucurbitacins, highly oxygenated tetracyclic triterpenes found in Cucurbitaceae and some other flowering plants.
