Abstract
A new triterpenoid, 2α,24–diacetoxy–3β–hydroxyolean–12–en–28–oic acid (1), was characterised from the rhizomes of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn by spectroscopic and chemical methods along with four known compounds, hyptatic acid-A (2α,3β,24–trihydroxyolean–12–en–28–oic acid) (2), maslinic acid (2α,3β–dihydroxyoleane–12–ene–28–oic acid), betulin and lupeol.
