The structure of the new sapogenin was elucidated as (20<i>S</i>, 24<i>R</i>)-dammar-20,24-epoxy-3α,6α,12β,25-tetraol by the combination analysis of NMR and mass spectrometry. The complete signal assignments of the two compounds were carried out by means of 2D NMR spectral analysis.</p></div> 2014-06-30 08:43:22 epimer ocotillol stems leaves american ginseng
