Phytochemical studies on the roots of Artemisia
scoparia, collected from the Kullu Valley region
of Himachal Pradesh, India, resulted in the isolation of one
lanostane-type triterpenoid 1 and
two 13,14-seco-steroids 4 and 8.
Their structures have been established as
9β-lanosta-5-ene-3α,27-diol 3α-palmitoleate,
13,14-seco-cholest-7-ene-3,6α,27-triol
3,27-diocta-8‘,6‘-dienoate, and
13,14-seco-cholest-5-ene-3β,27-diol
27-methanoate 3β-hexadeca-11‘,13‘,15‘-trien-1‘-oate on
the
basis of the spectroscopic techniques and chemical means.
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.
