Triterpenes from Angelica cartilagino-marginata var. foliata Yuan et Shan and their significance as chemosystematic characters

One new and three known triterpenes were isolated from roots of Angelica cartilagino-marginata var. foliata Yuan et Shan. The structures of the new compounds were determined by modern spectroscopic techniques, including 2D NMR experiments. These triterpenes are important characters in chemosystematics of Umbelliferae.
