“…The aglycone of bucharosides A (4), C (6) and D (2) is squasapogenol (1, olean-11 (12),13(18)-diene-3β,22β-diol), which was reported from Glycyrrhiza squamulosa and Hedysarum gmelinii. 10,11) The aglycone of bucharoside B (5) and macedonoside C (3) is macedonic acid (olean-11(12),13-(18)-diene-3β,21α-diol-29-ic acid), which was isolated from many Glycyrrhiza species as an aglycone of triterpene glycosides. 2,3,9) These olean-11 (12),13(18)-diene triterpenes are major aglycones of triterpene glycosides isolated from glycyrrhizinnon-producing Glycyrrhiza species, such as G. macedonica, G. echinata, G. pallidiflora and G. yunnanensis.…”
