New cycloartenol esters from Ixora Coccinea

The air-dried flowers of Ixora coccinea L. afforded two new cycloartenol esters (1a and 1b), lupeol fatty ester, lupeol, ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, and sitosterol. The structures of 1a and 1b were elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and MS.
