Abstract
A cyanolipid has been isolated and characterized from Valenzuelia trinervis (guindilla, Sapindaceae). The seed oil contains primarily oleic (62.3%), gadoleic (12.4%), linoleic (10.1%), and palmitic (9.6%) acids. The leaves of this plant contain approximately 25% saponins of which one predominates. The genin appears to be of triterpenoid origin. The seed meal contains ample lysine, leucine and phenylalanine, but is deficient in methionine. The seed meal is toxic to rats.
