Abstract
In this paper we report the isolation, purification and characterization of three triterpenes, stigmasterol (1), α -amyrin (2), and lupeol acetate (3) from the hexane extract of Calatropis procera leaves. These three natural compounds have been identified before from C. procera and from other plants. The compounds 1, 2 and 3 were isolated from C. procera in the Sultanate of Oman for first time. The structures of the isolated triterpenes were identified by different spectroscopic methods.
