Phytochemical examination of a specimen of Trattinnickia peruviana Swart ex Loes led to the isolation and identification of substances lichenxanihone, α and β-amyrins, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol. The identification of these natural products involved analysis of their spectral data. The occurence of three steroids is being described for the first time for genus Trattinnickia.
