Constituents of the Aerial Parts of Agrimonia pilosa

  • Published : 2005.12.01

Abstract

Four ursane type triterpenes have been isolated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb. (Rosaceae) through repeated silica gel and reverse-phase C-18 column chromatography. Their chemical structures were elucidated as ursolic acid (1), pomolic acid (2), tormentic acid (3), and corosolic acid (4) on the basis of their MS, $^1H-$, and $^{13}C-NMR$ spectral data. Compounds 2 and 4 were isolated from the genes of Agrimonia for the first time.
