TRITERPENOIDS FROM THE PLANT ASTRAGALUS TRANSOXANUS
Abstract
Currently, herbal medicines are widely used in medicine for the treatment and the prevention of various diseases.For this reason, we studied the chemical compositionof the plant Astragalus transoxanus Fisch., which belongs to Fabaceae family.The previously known individual triterpenoids Hareftoside C (1) and cyclodisectoside (2) (Fig. ) were isolated from the n-butanol fractions of the aerial part of this plant.The structure of the compounds was established on the basis of 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra.Thus, the plant Astragalus transoxanus was found to contain previously knowntriterpenoids, which were found in this plant for the first time.
