- Abstract
A new steroid leucisterol ( 1) and a new peroxy acid urticic acid ( 2) along with methoxybenzyl benzoate ( 3), 4-hydroxy benzoic acid ( 4), β-sitosterol ( 5), and ursolic acid ( 6), have been isolated from the chloroform soluble fraction of the whole plant of Leucas urticifolia. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance (1D and 2D NMR) spectral data. Leucisterol showed potent inhibitory activity against butyrylcholinesterase enzyme.
