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-3 beta-ol-28-oic acid 3 beta-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. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
