This study aimed at the isolation and characterization of a steroidal compound from the root bark of  Uvaria afzelii.  The methanolic crude extract of the root bark was suspended in aquous methanol and partitioned with n-hexane to obtain a fraction rich in volatile oils. The n-hexane fraction was subjected to column and preparative thin layer chromatography for isolation and purification of compounds. The n-hexane fraction yielded one  steroidal compound. The structure of which was determined by  1 H-,  13 C- and DEPT135-NMR as campest-5- en-3-ol. The spectroscopic data compared very well with published data.   Key words:  Extract,  Uvaria afzelii,  chromatography, campest-5-en-3-ol.
