Phytochemistry Letters, 2008, 1(4):183-187. | Polyhydroxyoleanane-type triterpenoids from Combretum molle and their anti-inflammatory activity.[Reference: WebLink] | A new oleanane-type triterpene saponin, β-d-glucopyranosyl 2α,3β,6β-trihydroxy-23-galloylolean-12-en-28-oate (1), together with four known oleanane-type pentacyclic triterpenoids, combregenin (2), arjungenin (3), arjunglucoside I (4), and combreglucoside (5) were isolated from the stem bark of Combretum molle. METHODS AND RESULTS: Their structures were established mainly on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectral data. Compounds 1–3 exhibited more significant activity against carrageenan-induced paw edema in rat compared to compounds 4 and 5.Graphical abstractThe new triterpene saponin, β-d-glucopyranosyl 2α,3β,6β-trihydroxy-23-galloylolean-12-en-28-oate (1) together with the known combregenin (2), arjungenin (3), arjunglucoside I (4), and combreglucoside (5) were isolated from the stem bark of Combretum molle. CONCLUSIONS: Their structures were identified by interpretation of their spectral data, mainly ESIMS, 1D NMR (1H, 13C NMR, DEPT) and 2D NMR (COSY, HSQC and HMBC), and by comparison with the literature. Compounds 1–3 exhibited more significant anti-inflammatory activity against carrageenan-induced paw edema in rat compared to compounds 4 and 5. |
