Pentanortriterpenoids were isolated for the first time from seed oil, leaves, and bark of A. indica. Nimbinene (I), 6-deacetylnimbinene (II), nimbandiol (III), and 6-O-acetylnimbandiol were found in the seed oil, I, II, and III in the leaves, and I and II in the bark. The structures were detd. by NMR spectroscopy.
