Chemical investigation of <em>D. Argentea </em>leaves resulted in the isolation of three steroids, β-sitosterol <strong>(1)</strong>, β-sitostenone <strong>(2)</strong>, and stigmasterol <strong>(3)</strong>, together with five triterpenes, identified as friedelin <strong>(4)</strong>, taraxerol <strong>(5)</strong>, taraxerone <strong>(6)</strong>, betulin <strong>(7)</strong>, and lupeol <strong>(8)</strong>. Their structures were elucuidated using spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidence. To the best of our knowledge, all compounds were isolated for the first time from this species.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Science and Mathematics Letters}, author={Ab Ghani, Nurunajah and Rasol, Nurulfazlina Edayah and Yahaya, Ahmad Azrul Hakim and Abdul Kadir, Nur Hazwanie and Abed, Salam Ahmed and Muhammad, Noor Amira}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={57–61} }
