Objective:
To study the triterpenoids constituents in Potentilla discolor.
Methods:
The compounds were isolated by silica gel chromatography, macroporous resins and polyamide column chromatography from the 70% ethanol extract, and their structures were identified by spectral analysis.
Results:
Six compounds were obtained and their structures were identified as 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2) -beta-D-xylopyranosyl-19a-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-acid (1), 2alpha, 3/beta, 19alpha-trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-acid (2), 3beta, 19alpha-trihydroxyurs-12-en-24, 28-acid (3), 2alpha, 3beta-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-acid (4), 2alpha, 3alpha, 19alpha-trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-acid (5), beta-sitosterol (6).
Conclusion:
Compounds 1 and 3 are obtained from this plant for the fisrt time.
