Abstract

Novel sesquiterpene glycoside sulfate, fukinoside A, was isolated as the potassium salt from the aerial parts of Petasites japonicus. The absolute sterostructure of fukinoside A was elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. In addition, fukinoside A was found to inhibit release of β-hexosaminidase, as a marker of antigen-induced degranulation, in RBL-2H3 cells.
