Triterpenoids from Adiantum caudatum

Phytochemistry. 2001 Sep;58(2):363-7. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(01)00198-4.

Abstract

Three triterpenoids, 8alpha-hydroxyfernan-25,7beta-olide, 3alpha-hydroxy-4alpha-methoxyfilicane and 19alpha-hydroxyferna-7,9(11)-diene were isolated from the fresh fronds of Adiantum caudatum. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. Thirteen known triterpenoids were also identified from this fern.
