Two new components from Gnetum pendulum

Abstract

Two new compounds, 3-O-(13-hydroxy-9Z,11E,15E-octadecatrienoyl) cycloeucalenol (1) and 24′-hydroxy-tetracosyl ferulate (2), together with one known compound, tetracosyl ferulate (3), were isolated from the dried stems of Gnetum pendulum. The two new compounds were structurally elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods.
