title: Acinospesigenin-A, -B, and -C: three new triterpenoids from Phytolacca acinosa.
abstract: Three new triterpenoids, designated as acinospesigenin-A (1), -B (2), and -C (3), isolated from the berries of Phytolacca acinosa, have been characterized as 3 beta-acetoxy-11 alpha,23-dihydroxytaraxer-14-en-28-oic acid, olean-12-en-23-al-2 beta,3 beta-dihydroxy-30-methoxycarbonyl-28-oic acid and olean-12-en-23-al-2 beta,3 beta,11 alpha-trihydroxy-30-methoxycarbonyl-28-oic acid, respectively. The compounds have shown antiedemic activity (LD(50) 10-15 mg/kg mass) in albino rats.
