Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the aerial parts ofLippia nodiflora Linn, led to the isolation of a new triterpenoid lippiacin (1) and a benzofuranone rengyolone (halleridone,2) through repeated silica gel column chromatography and semi preparative HPLC. The structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR, as well as by comparison with published data. A complete assignment of the1H- and13C-NMR data of2 is reported based on 2DNMR (COSY-45,HMQC and HMBC) spectroscopic methods.
