The aim of this work is to isolate, characterize, and evaluate the antioxidant activity as well as the phytotoxicity of crude extracts and compounds obtained from C. febrifuga. Nine compounds were isolated from leaves, stem bark and roots (methylene chloride/methanol:1/1) crude extracts after repeated silica gel column chromatography corresponding to shanzhiside methyl ester (1), D-mannitol (2), a mixture of two isomeric pentacyclic triterpenes: oleanolic acid (3a) and ursolic acid (3b), 11-methylixoside (4), 3β-urs-12, 20(30)-diene-27,28-dioic acid (5), quinovin glycoside C (6), 3-O-β-D-3-oxo-glucopyranosyl-ursa-12,20(30)-diene-27,28-dioic acid (7) and 3β-(-α-Lrhamnopyranosyloxy)-ursa-12,20(30)-diene-27,28-dioic acid (8). The compound chemical structures were established by studying their 1H and 13C NMR (1D and 2D) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) spectra. The antioxid.. View More»
