Cimiracemosides I-P, new 9,19-cyclolanostane triterpene glycosides from Cimicifuga racemosa.

Eight new and 13 known triterpene glycosides, along with the known compounds glyceryl-1-palmitate and daucosterol-6'-linoleate were isolated from the roots/rhizomes of Cimicifuga racemosa. The new compounds, designated as cimiracemosides I-P (1, 3-9), were determined by spectral analysis to be 7-dehydro-23-epi-12,26-dideoxyacteol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (1), 12-O-acetyl-25-anhydrocimigenol-3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (3), 12-O-acetyl-25-anhydrocimigenol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (4), 4',23-O-diacetylshengmanol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (5), 4',23-O-diacetylshengmanol-3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (6), 23-epi-acetylacteol-3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (7), 4'-O-acetyl-26-deoxyactein (8), and 16beta:23;24:25-diepoxy-12beta-O-acetyl-3beta-hydroxy-9,19-cyclolanost-23,26-olide-O- beta-D-xylopyranoside (9).
