Chemical Composition of the Epicuticular Wax of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius
Purification of the wax extract from leaves of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Miller) I.M. Johnston resulted in the isolation and identification of three triterpenoids: amyrenone (1), β-amyrin acetate (2) and α-amyrin acetate (3); additionally two separate fractions containing a mixture of β and α amyrin (4 and 5) and an unidentified number of alkanes, were also obtained. Metabolites were identified by comparing their spectral data with those from authentic samples and/or with those reported in the literature.
