Abstract:

Cissus quadrangularis Linn. (Family: Vitaceae) is an ancient medicinal plant, named as Hadjod in Hindi. A triterpene δ-amyrin acetate (1), aliphatic acid hexadecanoic acid (3) and stilbene glucoside trans-resveratrol-3-O-glucoside (9) were isolated for the first time from the stems of Cissus quadrangularis, along with previously reported compounds namely, δ- amyrone (2) δ-amyrin (4), β-sitosterol (5), kaempferol (6), quercetin (7) and resveratrol (8). The structure elucidation of the isolated compounds were performed by spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and MS) and by direct comparison with literature.
