  • Structure elucidation via Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS).

    • Main Results:

    • Three new triterpenoids were isolated: 8alpha-hydroxyfernan-25,7beta-olide, 3alpha-hydroxy-4alpha-methoxyfilicane, and 19alpha-hydroxyferna-7,9(11)-diene.
    • The structures of these novel compounds were confirmed through detailed spectroscopic analysis.
    • Thirteen known triterpenoids were also identified in the fern extract.

    Conclusions:

    • The phytochemical investigation of Adiantum caudatum yielded three new triterpenoids.
    • The study contributes to the chemical knowledge base of Adiantum species.
    • The identified triterpenoids may possess potential pharmacological activities warranting further investigation.
