A new cycloartane saponin from Cimicifuga acerina

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 1999;2(1):45-9. doi: 10.1080/10286029908039890.

Abstract

A new cycloartane saponin along with two known compounds, cimigenol and cimigenol 3-O-beta-D-xyloside, was isolated from the rhizomes of Cimicifuga acerina (Sieb. et Zucc.) Tanaka (Ranunculaceae). The structure of the new compound was elucidated as 3'-O-acetyl cimigenol 3-O-beta-D-xyloside on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence.
