Apioglycyrrhizin and araboglycyrrhizin, two new sweet oleanene-type triterpene oligoglycosides from the root of glycyrrhiza inflata

Abstract

Two new sweet oleanene-type triterpene oligoglycosides, named apioglycyrrhizin and araboglycyrrhizin, were isolated from the air-dried 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. © 1989, The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
