In present study evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of the compound obtained from the petroleum ether (40 - 60$^{\circ}C$) extract of the fruits from Dregea volubilis in Swiss albino mice and in Wister albino rats respectively. Dried and crushed fruits of Dregea volubilis were extracted by petroleum ether (40 - 60$^{\circ}C$), the proper solvent system was developed by TLC and subjected to column chromatography for obtaining the pure compound/s. IR, MASS, NMR (PMR, C13 NMR and DEPT) spectroscopic analysis were done to elucidate the structure of the compound/s. The petroleum ether (40 - 60$^{\circ}C$) extract of the fruits of Dregea volubilis led to isolation of a pentacyclic triterpenoid designated as taraxerone and characterized as D- friedoolean- 14- en, 3 one. Taraxerone had been screened for analgesic activity in Swiss albino mice and anti-inflammatory activity in Wister albino rats at the dose of 5 mg/kg body weight orally and exhibit significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Twelve species of Ipomoea were investigated for allelopathic behavior. Seed extracts of I. quamoclit, I. nil and I. pes-tigridis showed significant allelopathy over germination of other seeds. Investigation on seed extracts of I. quamoclit, revealed the presence of several phytochemical components viz., n-triacontanol, sitosterol, stigmasterol, ${\alpha}-amyrin$, taraxerone, taraxerol, erythrodiol, cucurbitacin-G. Seed fat of twelve species were also analyzed.

A new triterpene (1) and six known pentacyclic terpenoids (2-7) were isolated from the methanol extract of the dried leaves from Mallotus apelta. Based on the spectral and chemical evidence, their structures were determined to be 3$\alpha$-hydroxyhop-22(29)-ene (1), hennadiol (2), friedelin (3), friedelanol (4), epifriedelanol (5), taraxerone (6), and epitaraxerol (7).

Thirteen compounds were isolated from n-hexane layer of the extracts of feces of Trogopterus xanthipes. Their chemical structures were elucidated as lupeol (1), lupenone (2), simiarenol (3), epitaraxerol (4), taraxerone (5), fatty acid esters of 11-oxo-${\beta}$-amyrin (6), 12-oleane-3,11-dione (7), $5{\beta}$-stigmastan-$3{\alpha}$-ol (8), $5{\beta}$-stigmastan-$3{\beta}$-ol (9), $5{\alpha}$-stigmastan-3-one (10), $5{\beta}$-stigmastan-3-one (11), $5{\beta}$-cholestan-$3{\alpha}$-ol (12), and 2-methoxyphenanthrene (13) on the basis of spectroscopic data. Even though all the isolated compounds are known, to the best of our knowledge, all the compounds (1-13) are reported from this species for the first time.
