Abstract

From ether-soluble neutral fraction of the whole plant of Peperomia pellucida (L) HBK (Piperaceae), 4, 7-dimethoxy-5-(2-propenyl)-1, 3-benzodioxole or apiol, in a liquid state, 2, 4, 5-trime-thoxy styrene, mp 138.deg. and three phytosterols, campesterol, stigmasterol and .betha.-sitosterol, were isolated and characterized by spectral data.
