  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

New chemical constituents in a variety of Indian tobacco (N. tabacum) have been isolated by means of chromatography on alumina. The separation of four steryl glycosides, four sterols, one ketosteroid and nine waxy compounds have been reported in this paper. Attempts have been made to elucidate the chemistry of all these products.
