Abstract
Five constituents including one new pentacyclic triterpenoid guajanoic acid (1) and four known compounds β-sitosterol (2), uvaol (3), oleanolic acid (4), and ursolic acid (5) have been isolated from the leaves of Psidium guajava. The new constituent 1 has been characterized as 3β-p-E-coumaroyloxy-2α-methoxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid through 2D NMR techniques and chemical transformations. This is the first report of isolation of compound 3 from the genus Psidium.
