Abstract

Eleven triterpenoids, colubrinic acid (1), alphitolic acid (2), 3-O-cis-p-coumaroyl alphitolic acid (3), 3-O-trans-p-coumaroyl alphitolic acid (4), 3-O-cis-p-coumaroyl maslinic acid (5), 3-O-trans-p-coumaroyl maslinic acid (6), betulinic acid (7), oleanolic acid (8), betulonic acid (9), oleanonic acid (10), and zizyberenalic acid (11), were isolated from the fruits of Zizyphus jujuba Mill. A simple and rapid HPLC method, using a $C_{18}$ column, has been developed for the quantitative analysis of these compounds 1 (0.74%),2 (0.09%), 3 (0.19%), 4 (0.19%), 5 (0.08%),6 (0.08%), 7 (0.41%), 8 (0.05%), 9 (0.50%),10 (0.59%), and 11 (0.19%).
