Trinor-cycloartane glycosides from the rhizomes of Cimicifuga foetida

Molecules. 2009 Apr 17;14(4):1578-84. doi: 10.3390/molecules14041578.

Abstract

Three new trinor-cycloartane glycosides, 15alpha-hydroxy-16-dehydroxy-16(24)-en-foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (1), 28-hydroxy-foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (2) and foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1"-->3')-beta-D-xylopyranoside (3) together with the known compound foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (4) were isolated from the n-BuOH fraction of the roots of Cimicifuga foetida. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical reaction data.
