NON PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS ISOLATED FROM THE LEAVES OF FERN Chingia sakayensis (Zeiller) Holtt

Two non phenolic compounds namely a wax ester hexacosyl hexadecanoic and a steroid -sitosterol were isolated from the n-hexane extract of the fern Chingia sakayensis (Zeiller) Holtt’s leaves. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of the spectrometric evidences (UV, IR, 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, EIMS and HR-CIMS ).
