<b>Triterpenes from the resin of <i>Boswellia neglecta</i></b>
Abstract
The resin of Boswellia neglecta yielded four triterpenes canaric acid, α-amyrin, α-amyrone and epi-α-amyrin. Canaric acid and epi-α-amyrin are isolated here for the first time from the family Burseraceae. The compounds were identified using 1D and 2D NMR techniques.
