Abstract
A new triterpenoid compound (1) and a known compound (2) were isolated from the product of biotransformation of glycyrrhizic acid by Aspergillus niger. On the basis of the 1D and 2D NMR (1H–1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY) and MS spectrometry, their structures were established as 7β, 15α-dihydroxy-3,11-dioxo-oleana-12-en-30-oic acid (1) and 15α-hydroxy-3,11-dione-oleana-12-en-30-oic acid (2), respectively.
