RESUMEN
The leaves of Luvunga sarmentosa yielded two new apotirucallane triterpenoids, 3-epi-skimmiarepin A (1) and 21,23-epoxy-7alpha,21-dihydroxyapotirucalla-14,24-dien-3-one (2), and a new tirucallane triterpene, 3-epi-flindissol (3). Because of a hemiacetal functionality at C-21, all compounds occurred as mixtures of 21-epimers. 3-epi-Skimmiarepin A (1) and 3-epi-flindissol (3) were oxidized to the corresponding gamma-lactones. The structures have been elucidated on the basis of mass and NMR spectroscopic methods.

The leaves of Luvunga sarmentosa (Bl.) Kurz. yielded eight apotirucallane triterpenoids named luvungins A-G, and 1alpha-acetoxyluvungin A. Characteristic of the structure are the seven-membered lactone-ring A, the alpha-hydroxyl or alpha-acetoxyl group at C-7 and an oxygen bridge in the side chain giving five-, six- or seven-membered rings, respectively. Because of a hemiacetal function at C-21, luvungin C occurred as a mixture of 21-epimers. The structures have been elucidated on the basis of MS and NMR spectral data. In addition, two known coumarins ostruthin (6-geranyl-7-hydroxycoumarin) and 8-geranyl-7-hydroxycoumarin as well as five known triterpenes friedelin, flindissone, melianone, niloticin and limonin were isolated.
