Abstract

Two new sterols, coccupendulusterols A and B, and an unknown aliphatic hydrocarbon have been isolated along with two reported alkaloids, pendulinin and cucsulinine and hexacosane from the stem of Cocculus pendulus. The structures of the new phytoconstituents have been established respectively as 7,8-seco-stigmast-11,20(22)-diene-3b-ol.stigmast-5,20(22)-diene-9 a-ol and 25-methyl tritriacont-21-ene-11-one-1-ol on the basis of spectral data analyses and chemical means.
