Abstract: | A bisdesmosidic glycoside — cycloorbicoside G — has been isolated from the epigeal parts of the plantAstragalus orbiculatus Ledeb. (Leguminosae), and on the basis of chemical transformations and spectral characteristics its structure has been established as (23R,24S)-16 ,23;16 ,24-diepoxycycloartane-3 ,7 ,25-triol 25-O- -D-glucopyranoside 3-O- -D-xylopyranoside.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.
