  • Isolation of compounds using chromatographic techniques.
  • Structure elucidation of the novel compound using spectroscopic methods (2D NMR, HR-SI-MS).
  • Identification of known compounds by comparing NMR data with literature.

Main Results:

  • One novel steroid, identified as stigmast-5-en-3beta,7alpha,22-triol (1), was isolated.
  • Seven known steroids were also isolated and identified.
  • The structure of the new steroid was confirmed through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The study successfully identified a new steroidal compound from Saussurea ussuriensis.
  • This finding adds to the repertoire of known steroids derived from natural sources.
  • Further research may explore the biological activities of the isolated compounds.
