OBJECTIVE
To summarize the research advances and 13C NMR features of triterpenoid compounds in the plant of Prunella genus.
METHODS
Consulting related literatures and summing up the triterpenoid compounds and their features of 13C NMR spectra.
RESULT AND CONCLUSION
Up to now, 28 triterpenoid compounds were isolated from the plant of P. genus. of which 20 were in free state and 8 were triterpenoid saponins. The 13C NMR spectra of different triterpenoids showed different features in respects such as skeletons, substituent groups and positions.
