New Polyesterified Ursane Derivatives from Leaves of <i>Maesa membranacea</i> and Their Cytotoxic Activity

<i>Maesa membranacea</i> A. DC. (Primulaceae) is a plant species that has been frequently used by practitioners of the traditional ethnobotany knowledge from northern and central Vietnam. However, the chemical constituents of the plant remained unknown until recently. Chromatographic sep...
