Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of Flacourtia rukam Zoli. & Moritzi (Syn. Flacourtia euphlebia Merr.) led to the isolation of monogalactosyl diacylglycerols (1), β-sitosteryl-3β-glucopyranoside-6β-O-fatty acid esters (2), β-sitosterol (3) and triacylglycerols (4) from the pulp; 3 and chlrorophyll a (5) from the fruit peel; and 4 from the seeds. The structures of 1-5 were identified by comparison of their NMR data with literature data.
