Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2015 Nov 15;25(22):5168-71. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2015.09.073. Epub 2015 Oct 8.

Abstract

A phytochemical study on the arial part of Caragana sukiensis resulted in the isolation of three new cycloartane triterpenoids 1-3 and their structures were fully established on the basis of detailed spectroscopic (especially 2D NMR and Mass) analysis. These new compounds possessed hemiacetal fused tetrahydropyran rings at C-15/C-16, while 2 and 3 also contains d-xylose moiety.

Keywords: Caragana sukiensis; Cycloartane triterpenoids; Fabaceae.
