Cycloartane-type triterpenoids from Astragalus hoantchy French.

A new cycloartane-type triterpenoid, 3β-acetoxy-9β,19-cyclolanost-24E-ene-1α,16β-diol-27-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), together with three known ones (2-4) were isolated from the aerial parts of Astragalus hoantchy. The structure of compound 1 was elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses including 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and IR experiments. All of the four compounds were isolated from A. hoantchy for the first time. The antifungal activities of compounds 1-4 against a phytopathogenic fungus (Alternaria solani) were evaluated with the result that compound 3 exhibited a moderate activity with an IC50 value of 284 μg/mL.
