Petroleum ether extract of root part of cucumis prophetarum afforded one compound 4,4-dimethyl-Stigmast-5-22E,24-trien-3β-ol, which has structural similarity with Stigmast-5-22E-dien-24S-3β-ol and Propheterin. More over the 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR spectrum of the isolated compound matched with the literature values of previously reported data's whereas, the methanol extract afforded one compound 7,8,11,12,14,15,16,17-octahydro-17-((E)-6-hydroxy-6-methylhept-3-en-2-yl)-9,13dimethyl-6H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-7-yl acetate. The structural elucidation of these compounds was conducted using 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, UV, IR and DEPT spectroscopic methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
