From the aerial parts of Astragalus verrucosus Moris, a novel cycloartane-type triterpene glycoside, named astraverrucin VII, was isolated along with cycloaraloside D (peregrinoside II) and cycloaraloside C (astrailienin A). The flavonoid composition was investigated for the first time, and fifteen known flavonoids were isolated and identified. All structural elucidation were performed by spectral means. The chemiotaxonomic importance of these findings is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
