[Constituents from Ranunculus ternatus and Their Inhibitory Effects on Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis]
Objective:
To explore the chemical constituents of Ranunculus ternatus and their inhibitory effects on multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
Methods:
All compounds were separated by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography etc. Their structures were identified by NMR spectroscopy. The absolute concentration method was used for susceptibility test on multidrug-resistant tuberculosis strains with Ranunculus ternatus.
Results:
Seven compounds were isolated and identified as 2-deoxy-D-ribono-1,4-lactone( 1),isomaltol-α-D-glucoside( 2),vanillic acid-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside( 3), salicoside( 4),n-butyl-β-D-fructofuranoside( 5),3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid( 6),and caffeic acid( 7).
Conclusion:
Compounds 1 ~ 6 are isolated from this genus for the first time. All compounds except 5 of Ranunculus ternatus reveal modest activity to inhibit multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
