CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS FROM BARK WOOD AND LEAVES OF MAYTENUS FLORIBUNDA (REISS)
Eight compounds were isolated from Maytenus floribunda (Reiss) Celastraceae.
The leaves of the plant yielded the steroids: 
-sitosterol and -sitosterol-D-glucoside.
The bark wood yielded the polyol: dulcitol; the steroids: -sitosterol and -sitosterol-D-glucoside; the flavonoids: 4'–O-methyl-(-)-epigallocatechin and proanthocyanidin A; and the pentacyclic triterpenes: friedelin, friedelinol and 28-hydroxy-3-oxo-friedelane.
-sitosterol and -sitosterol-D-glucoside.

The substances were identified by spectral analysis (UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR) and melting point.
