Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(83)85034-1

Key Word index - Nauclea diderrichii; Rubiaceae; alkanes; alkanoic acids; triterpenic acids; secoiridoid; quinovic acid; 3-oxoquinovic acid; 3-O-glucosylquinovic acid; diderroside. The stem bark of Nauclea diderrichii has yielded diderroside, a new secoiridoid glucoside, as well as quinovic acid, 3-oxoquinovic acid and 3-O-glucosylquinovic acid.The hydrocarbon fraction was dominated by n-heptacosane and n-nonacosane, which accords with the predominance of n-octacosanoic acid in the alkanoic acid fraction.
