Abstract

Four chemical constituents, steroidal glycosides, namely colurnasterol glycoside, b-sitosterol glycoside, campesteryl glycoside and corylusterol glycoside (new compound) have been isolated from the fruits of Corylus colurna and their structures were established as 20-b-hydroxycampesterol-3b-D-glucopyranoside (F1), stigmast-5-en-3-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (F2), (24R)ergost-5-en-3b-D-glucopyranoside (F3) and cholest-5-en-3b, 12 b-triol-3b-D-glycopyranoside (F4) by spectral data analyses and chemical evidences.

Key words: Steroidal glycosides, namely Colurnasterol glycoside, b-Sitosterol glycoside, Corylus colurna Linn. (Family: Betulaceae)
