Abstract
Three isomeric pairs of ursolic acid (1, 3, and 5) and oleanolic acid (2, 4, and 6) glycosides were isolated as predominant constituents from seeds of Patrinia scabiosaefolia Fischer (Valerianaceae). Based on chemical and spectral evidence, their structures were established to be 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl] ursolic acid (1) and oleanolic acid (2), 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl] ursolic acid (3) and oleanolic acid (4), and 3-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl- (1-->3)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl] ursolic acid (5) and oleanolic acid (6), respectively. Glycosides 1, 5, and 6 are new compounds and named as patrinia-glycosides A-I, B-I, and B-II, respectively. Glycoside 3 is a known but is the first naturally occurring product. Ursolic acid glycosides were first found from this plant specimen.
