This work describes the study of the specie Salacia elliptica, a plant from Hippocrateaceae family, known as bacupari, saputá and other popular names. In folk medicine it has been used in fever, swelling, scarring of wounds, diabetes and other treatments. The families Hippocrateaceae and Celastraceae are morphologically very close. Some taxonomists have considered them as only one family, while others split them in two. The Hippocrateaceae family comprises around 30 genera, and Salacia and Hippocratea are the most important with 300 species. Celastraceae comprises about 55 genera and 850 species. In this work, S. elliptica was considered an Hippocrateaceae plant, and by phytochemical study we intend to contribute to the chemotaxonomy position of this family. The phytochemical study of stem and root led to the isolation of the quinonamethide triterpenes: maitenin, pristimerin and 30-hydroxy-friedelan-3-one. Their structures were elucidated by 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The bioassays carried out so far demonstrate the great potential of this specie
