Phytochemical constituents of the flowers of <i>Sarcococca coriacea</i> of Nepalese origin

Abstract

From the flowers of Sarcococca coriacea, a triterpenoic acid, oleanolic acid, a pentahydric sugar alcohol, xylitol along with the mixture of steroidal glycosides, stigmasterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside have been isolated by chromatographic technique. Their structures were established on the basis of IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, spectral data as well as melting point and Co-TLC comparison with the authentic samples.
