Abstract:
Three compounds were isolated from the roots of
Rosa multiflora Thunb. They were identified to be
β-sitosterol, 2
α, 19
α-dihydroxy ursolic acid (Ⅰ) and 2
α, 19
α-dihydroxy ursolic acid-(28-1)-
β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (;dl2y spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, MS,
1HNMR and
13CNMR) and chemical evidence. The third compound is a new triterpenoic acid sugar ester, named as rosamultin (Ⅱ), C
36H
58O
10, mp 208~210℃,
αD=+10° (c=3.30, EtOH). In pharmacological and preliminary clinical tests the roots of
Rosa multiflora Thunb exhibited hypolipidimic activity.
