Abstract

Four ursane-type triterpenoids, ursolic acid (1), 23-hydroxyursolic acid (2), corosolic acid (3), and tormentic acid (4), and a phytosterol, ${\beta}-sitosterol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucoside$, were isolated from an EtOAcsoluble extract of the aerial parts of Potentilla discolor. The structures of 1-4 were identified by spectroscopic methods, particularly by extensive NMR studies. This is the first report on the isolation of compounds 1-4 from this plant.
