Studies on the constituents from the bark of Bauhinia purpurea

in a previous paper, we reported a new stigmasteroyl glucoside derivative together with four known compounds. In addition to the above compounds, the isolation and identification of twenty-four compounds from the same source are described here. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral evidence as well as comparison with authentic samples. Those compounds included four waxes, four triterpenes, eight steroids, two glyceride, three flavonoids, and three phenylpropanoids. Some new compounds were found in mixtures of three alkyl omega-hydroxyalkanoate, glyceride, and phenylpropanoids.
