Abstract

Guggulu, the gum-resin exudate from the tree Commiphora mukul is a complex mixture of steroids, diterpenoids, aliphatic esters, carbohydrates and a variety of inorganic ions, besides minor amounts of sesamin and other unidentified constituents. The present communication discusses in some detail the steroidal constituents, which include, cholesterol, 4,17(20)-(trans)-pregnadiene-3,16-dione (I), 4,17(20)-(cis)-pregnadiene-3,16-dione (II) and three new sterols-guggulsterol-I, guggulsterol-II and guggulsterol-III which are shown to be VIII, XV and XVI respectively.
