Abstract | ||||
From the chloroform soluble fraction of ethanolic extract of the dried fruits of Sorbus aucuparia (DC)four triterpenes were isolated and identified as a-amyrin, ursolic acid, methyl 2a-hydroxy ursolate, 2a-hydroxy ursolic acid in addition to b-sitosterol. The major component of ethyl acetate fraction was isolated and identified as rutin. Their structures were established by physical, chemical and spectral methods. This is the first report of isolation of ursolic acid and its derivatives from the plant. | ||||
