Abstract

Two novel triterpene glycosides, achyranthosides E and F, were isolated as methyl esters from the root of Achyranthes fauriei, an antiinflammatory medicinal plant. Their structures were characterized as oleanolic acid glucuronides having unique substituents composed of C 6H 9O 5 and C 9H 15O 7, respectively, at the C-3 position of glucuronic acid. These compounds are active components which can inhibit the excess recruiting of neutrophiles to injured tissues 1,000 times more potently than sialyl Lewis X.
