Abstract
Abstract The non-phenolic fraction of the alcoholic extract of the root bark of Terminalia arjuna yielded two new triterpenoid glycosides, arjunoside III and arjunoside IV in addition to arjunglucoside I and arjunetin. The structure of arjunoside III was established as the 28-β- d (+)-glucuronopyranoside of arjunic acid by a study of its chemical and spectroscopic ( 1 H and 13 C NMR) data. Arjunoside IV was shown to be the 3- O -α- l (−)-rhamnoside of arjunic acid. Leucocyanidin, ellagic acid and gallic acid have been isolated from the phenolic part of the root extract.
