ABSTRACT
Three olean (beta-amyrenone, beta-amyrin and maniladiol), three ursane (alpha-amyrinone, alpha-amyrin and breine) and four tirucallane (3-oxotirucalla-8,24-dien-21-6ic acid, 3alpha-hydroxytirucalla-8,24-dien-21-oic acid, 3alpha-acetoxytirucalla-8,24-dien-21-oic acid and 3alpha-hydroxytirucalla-7,24-dien-21-oic acid) triterpenes were isolated from the oleoresin of Protium hebetatum Daly. The structures were established mainly by 13C, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis. The isolation of 3alpha-hydroxytirucalla-8,24-dien-21-oic acid permitted correction of the chemical shift assignments of some of its carbon atoms.
