Isolation of Betulinic Acid, its Methyl Ester and Guaiane Sesquiterpenoids with Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B Inhibitory Activity from the Roots of Saussurea lappaC.B.Clarke

Activity-guided fractionation of a MeOH extract of the roots of Saussurea lappa C.B.Clarke (Compositae), using an in vitro protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibition assay, led to the isolation of four active constituents: betulinic acid (1), betulinic acid methyl ester (2), mokko lactone (3...
