Triterpenoidal constituents of the leaves of Carissa carandas

Nat Prod Res. 2003 Jun;17(3):153-8. doi: 10.1080/1478641031000104109.

Abstract

Studies undertaken on the fresh leaves of Carissa carandas have led to the isolation of four pentacyclic triterpenoids (1-4) including one new constituent carissin (1) and two hitherto unreported compounds 2 and 3. The structure of the new triterpenoid has been elucidated as 3beta-hydroxy-27-E-feruloyloxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid. Compelete assignment of the protons of 2 has also been made based on 2D NMR studies.
