Abstract:

Objective: To explore the chemical constituents of Swertia angustifolia Buch. Methods: Compounds were separated and
purified by silica gel column chromatography and their structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and
spectral analysis. Results: Four monomeric compounds were obtained from trichloromethane extract of S. angustifolia and were
identified as asoleanolic acid(1), ursolic acid(2), lupeol(3), and 3β- hydroxy- 11α,12α- epoxyoleanan- 28,13β- olide(4).
Conclusion: Compounds(2),(3)and(4)were obtained from S. angustifolia for the first time.

Key words: Swertia angustifolia Buch., chemical constituents, terpenoids
