Cuphea balsamona Champion et Schlechtendal係臺灣新紀錄之植物。從本植物之乙醇萃取物中,分離得到長鏈烷類( n-C_(27)H_(56), n-C_(28)H_(60), n-C_(30)H_(62), n-C_(31)H_(64), n-C_(32)H_(66)及n-C_(33)H_(68)), stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, friedelin, mannitol以及saturated aliphatic ester, m, p, 71~73℃和saturated aliphatic alcohol, m, p. 85~87℃ (acetate, m. p. 68~69°C)。
Cuphea balsamona Champion et Schlechtendal (Lythraceae) was a new recorded plant in Taiwan. The dried and whole herb of this plant was extracted with ethanol. After isolation and identification by chemical methods and physical methods (UV, lR, NMR and GC), the extract was found to contain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (n-C_(27)H_(56), n-C_(28)H_(58), n-C_(29)H_(60), n-C_(30)H_(62), n-C_(31)H_(64), n-C_(32)H_(66), n-C_(33)H_(68)), stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, friedelin, mannitol, a saturated aliphatic ester, m.p. 71-73°C, and an aliphatic alcohol, m. p. 85-87°C (acetate, m.p, 68-69°C).
