Saponin and Sapogenol. XLIX. On the Constituents of the Roots of Glycyrrhiza inflata BATALIN from Xinjiang, China. Characterization of Two Sweet Oleanane-Type Triterpene Oligoglycosides, Apioglycyrrhizin and Araboglycyrrhizin.
Two new sweet oleanene-type triterpene oligoglycosides, named apioglycyrrhizin and araboglycyrrhizin, were isolated from the air-drie root of Glycyrrhiza inflata [Chinese Glycyrrhizae Radix, Shinkyo-kanzo in Japanese], and their structures have been determined on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence.
