Abstract
A nortriterpenoid, 3-epi-cabraleahydroxylactone (1) and a steroid, stigma-4-en-3-on (2) were isolated from the n-
hexane extract of stem bark of Aglaia angustifolia Miq. Compound (2) was isolated for the first time from this
Genus. The structure of both compounds were identified by spectroscopic datas including one and two-
dimensional NMR as well as infrared spectrum, high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis and by comparing
with those spectral data previously.
Keywords: Aglaia angustifolia, Cabraleahydroxylactone, Stigmastane, Nortriterpenoid.

1. INTRODUCTION
Aglaia, the largest genus of subtropical
and tropical angiosperm family of Meliaceae,
consists of 130 species distributed mainly in
the Southern mainland China, Indo-Malaysian
region and the Pacific Island (Mabberley &
Pannel, 1995), (Inada et al., 2001). Meliaceae
is a family known for the presence of
triterpenes with interesting biological
activities, such as hypoglycemia, anticancer,
anti-inflammatory, antifeedant, insecticides,
and antitumor activities. The plants genus
Aglaia has been found to yield a variety of
different classes of compounds such as
triterpenoid, lignans, rocaglate derivatives,
sesquiterpenoids, tetraterpenoids and steroids
(Liu et al., 2014); (Weber et al., 2000); (Pan et
al., 2010).
Aglaia angustifolia (Miq.) species
mainly distributed in Indonesia (Sumatera,
Kalimantan islands) and declared almost
extinct (Pannel, 1992). We found that A.
angsutifolia (Miq.) has not done much
phytochemical research. The course of our
continuous investigation for biologically active
compounds from Indonesian Aglaia plants, we
already isolated several active compounds
from A. Smithii (Harneti et al., 2012); A.
eximia (Harneti et al., 2014); (Sianturi, et al.,
2015a); (Sianturi, et al., 2015b); A. argentea
(Farabi, et al., 2017a); (Farabi, et al., 2017b);
A. elliptica (Farabi et al., 2018), (Hidayat et
al., 2017) and recently A. angustifolia
(Hutagaol et al., 2021); (Hutagaol et al.,
2020a) (Hutagaol, et al., 2020b).
In this paper, we report the isolation and
structural elucidation of a nortriterpenoid, 3-
epi-cabraleahydroxylacton, and a steroid
stigmast-4-en-3-on which to our knowledge is
a new type-steroid compound found in Aglaia
genus.
