Summary

A chemical study of the petroleum ether, ethanol and water extracts of Coryphantha palmeri and Echinocactus grandis afforded β–sitosterol in both plants, a tetracyclic triterpenoid and a crude alkaloid from C. palmeri and an aliphatic saturated tetrol, Ci₇H₃₆O4 and a polyhydroxylated steroid, C₂₇H₄₆O₅ from the E. grandis. Both cacti contain galactose and besides, E. grandis, contains rhamnose.
