Nova [online]. 1998, vol.21, n.6, pp. 740-743. ISSN 0100-4042.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-40421998000600014.

The phytochemical studies of Eschweilera longipes have led to the identification of ten triterpenoids: fridelin, fridelinol, a-amirin, b-amirin, 3b-O-cinamoyl-a-amirin, 3b-O-cinamoyl-b-amirin, a-amirenone, b-amirenone, 3-a-hidroxi-lupeol, 3-a-hidroxi-taraxasterol, along with b-sitosterol, stigmasterol, a -tocopherol and tocotrienol. The structures of these compounds were identified by analysis of IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR data and comparison with values of literature.
