Five spirocaracolitone triterpenoids were isolated from the dichloromethane-soluble fraction of the bark of Ruptiliocarpon caracolito, and their structures were determined mainly by application of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Two known CD-spirotriterpenoids were also isolated from the same source. This brings the total number of known CD-spirotriterpenoids from this source to 17. The discovery of such a large number of closely-related compounds in a single species represents an excellent example of phytochemical redundancy as a defense mechanism.
