Abstract: | Summary The UV spectra in concentrated sulfuric acid of hederagenin and oleanolic acid and their glycosides has been studied. For analytical purposes it is proposed to use the extremum at a wavelength of 405 nm, which is distinguished by constancy of position and intensity of absorption for the genins and their glycosides.A spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of the triterpene glycosides in a preparation from the bulbs ofLeontice ewersmannii Bge.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
