Anti-diabetic potential of ursolic acid stearoyl glucoside: A new triterpenic gycosidic ester from Lantana camara

A new stearoyl glucoside of ursolic acid, urs-12-en-3β-ol-28-oic acid 3β-d-glucopyranosyl-4′-octadecanoate and other compounds were isolated from the leaves of Lantana camara L. The structure of this new glycoside was elucidated and established by standard spectroscopic methods. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats it showed significant reduction in blood glucose level.

A new stearoyl glucoside of ursolic acid and other compounds were isolated from the leaves of Lantana camara Linn. The molecular structures of the compounds were characterized using spectroscopic data and were tested for their hypoglycemic activity. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats it showed significant reduction in blood glucose level.Figure optionsDownload high-quality image (98 K)Download as PowerPoint slide
