Abstract
Chemical studies were carried out on Leucas martinicensis of the family Labiatae.
Chloroform extract of the leaves afforded triacontane (E2’), tetracosane (E2’-C)
and lutein (E45) while methanol extract of the leaves afforded cholesterol (E24).
Elucidations of the structures of the compounds were based on their 1H NMR, 13C
NMR, and IR spectra. In the case of cholesterol comparison of the material with
an authentic sample was carried.
