Triterpene glycosides ofCauliphyllum robustum. The structures of caulosides B and C

Summary Two triterpene glycosides — caulosides b and c — have been isolated from a methanolic extract of the leaves ofCaulophyllum robustum maxim. Cauloside b has been identified as hederagenin 3--L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranoside, while cauloside c has the structure of hederagenin 3-0--L-arabinopyranosyl(13)--L-pyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranoside.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.
