To extract and identify the chemical constituents present in the bark of Libocedrus formosana Florin.
Extracted bark tissue of Libocedrus formosana using acetone solvent.
Separated and isolated the constituent chemical fractions from the acetone extractive.
Isolated multiple known diterpenoid and sterol compounds, specifically sugiol, lignoceric acid, 6α-hydroxy-7-oxo-ferruginol, ferruginol, xanthoperol, and β-sitosterol.
Recovered a mixture of hydrocarbons, a long-chain ester, and three unidentified chemical products designated A, B, and C.
