PATENSIN, A SAPONIN FROM PULSATILLA PATENS VAR. MULTIFIDA

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(95)00021-X

Patensin, a new triterpenoid glycoside, was isolated from the ethanolic extraction of the roots of Pulsatilla patens var. multifida.Its stucture was established as hederagenin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-β-D- glucopyranoside on the basis of hydrolysis and spectral evidence including 1D and 2D NMR techniques. - Key words: Pulsatilla patens var. multifida; Ranunculaceae; triterpenoid glycoside; patensin.
