Sixty-five compounds, including hydrocarbons, carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and amides, were identified among the four species.

Aldehydes, which were detected in all four Pteropus species, and some straight- and branched-chain ketones, which were detected in P. hypomelanus and P. pumilus, are known from other mammalian skin glands. Acetophenone, 4-acetoxyacetophenone, and 4-hydroxyacetophenone were observed in P. pumilus; the last compound comprised 37.1% of the total ion current. 2,3-Butanediol, a prominent component (5.2-19.3%) in the secretions of P. giganteus, P. hypomelanus, and P. pumilus, and C\n                    <jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>\n                    and C\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    isopropyl esters and C\n                    <jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>\n                    -C\n                    <jats:sub>14<\/jats:sub>\n                    1-methylbutyl esters, observed in P. hypomelanus and P. vampyrus, have not previously been reported from vertebrates. \u03b1-Methyl-4-methoxybenzyl alcohol and dihydro-5-phenyl-2(3H)-furanone, from P. giganteus and P. pumilus, are new natural products. 1-Chloro-3-methyl-2-butene, another new natural product, and five C\n                    <jats:sub>5<\/jats:sub>\n                    compounds exhibiting a similar isoprenoid structure were observed in P. giganteus.
