Cucurbalsaminol A or cucurbita-5,23(E)-diene-3β,12β,25-triol, is a chemical compound with formula C30H50O4, found in the Balsam apple vine (Momordica balsamina). It is a cucurbitane-type triterpenoid, related to cucurbitacin, isolated by C. Ramalhete and others in 2009.[1]

Cucurbalsaminol A is an amorphous powder soluble in methanol and ethyl acetate but insoluble in n-hexane. Unlike Cucurbalsaminol B, it is not cytotoxic.[1]
