A steroid has been isolated from the seeds of Artabotrys odoratissimus (Annonaceae) and its structure has been established as (3β, 22E)-ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3-ol by spectroscopic and chemical studies. By chemical correlations, it has been identified as a known compound ergosterol. This is the first report of isolation of ergosterol from this plant.
