ABSTRACT
From the leaves and wood of Licania arianeae, ten known compounds were isolated and identified. They belong to pharmacological active triterpenes acids, including three oleanoic acids, five ursane acids, and two triterpenes saponin acids. Their structures were established by analysis of infrared, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data of natural triterpenes and of methyl acetyl derivatives.

The phytochemical studies of the leaves of Licania arianeae Prance (Crysobalanaceae) have led to the identification of ten new chromones, four 5,7-dihydroxy-2-alkylchromones, four 5,7-dihydroxy-6-chloro-2-alkylchromones and two 5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-dichloro-2-alkylchromones. The structures were established from IR, NMR and FAB-MS spectra data including 2D NMR experiments of natural substances and of the methyl derivatives.
