Abstract
The Croton macrostachyus is used for the treatment of malaria, venereal
diseases, cough, diabetes, constipation, tape worms and hepatitis. The
dichloromethane extract of the stem bark of Croton macrostachyus was
afforded two Terpenoids: the compound with full structure which is a
triterpenoid (CM-1) and a compound with a partial structure which is a
tetratrpenoid (CM-2). Structural determination was accomplished by means
of spectroscopic methods (IR, UV, 1D and 2D NMR)
