OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemical components of Boswellia carterii.
METHODS
Chromatographic technologies were used for separation and purification, while spectral analysis was used for structure elucidation.
RESULTS
Six compounds were isolated and their structures were identified as acetyl-alpha-boswellic acid (1), acetyl-beta-boswellic acid (2), lup-20(29)-ene-3 alpha-acetoxy-24-oic acid (3), alpha-boswellic acid (4), beta-boswellic acid (5) and acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (6).
CONCLUSIONS
Compound 3 is a new constituent.
