Abstract
Chemical investigation of propolis samples from southern Nigeria led to the isolation of cycloartanetype triterpenes namely: 24-methylene cycloartanol and ambonic acid along with pentacyclic triterpenes: Lupeol and α, β-amyrins. All compounds were identified and structures elucidated using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) spectroscopic data and comparison with literature.
