Abstract
The fusidic acid(ent-16α-acetoxy-3β-dihydroxy-4β,8β,14α-trimethyl-18-nor-5β,10α-cholesta-(17z)-17(20),24-dien-21-oic acid) together with known compounds β-sitosterol, 2-methylanthraquinone, scopoletin, betulinic acid, corchoroside –A and cannogenol  from  the root extract of Corchorus olitorius. Out of these compounds, 2 - methyl anthraquinone and fusidic acids were new to the genus Corchorus and reported for the first time from C.olitorius. The triterpenoid antibiotic fusidic acid was  obtained earlier from a fungi (Fusidium coccineum) , is now reported from the plant C.olitorius.  Occurance  of coumarins in Corchorus genus are rare, but the author could isolate scopoletin, a coumarin from this species.

Introduction
Corchorus olitorius L,  belong to the family Tiliaceae is an  annual, much-branched  herb 90-120 cm tall, leaves 6-10 cm long, flowers are  pale yellow. Capsules 3-6.5 cm  long1 The Corchorus olitorius is reported to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer activities.2-3Earlier, a good number of secondary metabolites were isolated and characterized from this plant. Cardiac glycosides like corchorosides, terpenoids like betulinic acid, kaempferol like flavonoids were reported from this plant.4-59

Plant material
The roots of Corchorus olitorius, were collected from Warangal in September 2007 (2kg) and  was authenticated by Prof.V.S. Raju, Department of Botany, KaKatiya University,  Warangal. A specimen was deposited in the Herbarium (Voucher specimen number (CO/07) roots were collected from the plant and dried under shade.

Extraction
The roots  of Corchorus olitorius (2kg) were air dried and coarsely powdered in a Wiley mill and successively extracted with petroleum ether (3×3 l), chloroform (3×3 l) and methanol (3×3 l) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The petroleum ether, chloroform extracts of C. olitorius roots shown similar spots on TLC (1:1 Benzene: Chloroform) and hence combined and column chromatographed over silica gel (Acme 100 mesh), which afforded three compounds named as COR-1, COR-2, and COR-3. The methanolic extract showed positive Liebermann-Burchard test for terpenoids and Kedde test for cardiac glycosides. On column chromatography the methanolic extract gave four compounds COR-4, COR-5, COR-6 and COR-7.

COR -6 (Cannogenol )
It was obtained as  white amorphous powder in 30% methanol: chloroform. It showed positive kedde and legal reactions indicating the cardinolide nature of the compound. In the high resolution negative ion FAB mass spectrum , COR-6 showed a [M-H]- ion peak at m/z 681.3436 .The fragment ion peaks of low resolution FABMS,m/z 519 for [M-H-162]- and 389 for [aglycone –H]-, were observed. COR-6 had more mass units from digitoxigenin, and one extra hydroxyl group in the aglycone. The C-19 signal of COR -6was observed at δ 66.0 shifted by +41.7 ppm. The signals of C-1 (δ 24.8, -6.6 ppm), C-5 (δ 30.2 7.7 ppm) and C-10 (δ 40.4,-4.1 ppm) were significantly shifted. (Table-2.1.2) The 1H NMR, H-H COSY and HMQC spectra, two protons at the 19-position were assigned at δ3.41 and 3.81 .These data indicated that the aglycone was cannogenol which had one hydroxyl at C-19 [81,82]. The 1H NMR showed signals as δ 0.88 (3H,s, H3 -18),1.25(3H.d,J=6.5Hz, bio H3 -6),2.82 (1H, m, H-17), 3.41, 3.81 (1H,d,J=11Hz, H2-19 ),3.45 (1H, m, boi H-4 ), 3.65 (1H, dd, J=5.5, 12.0 Hz , glc H-6b), 4.04 (1H, m, H-3 ), 4.15 (1H, br.q, boi H-3), 4.31 (1H, d, J=8.0Hz, glc H-1), 4.88 (1H, dd, J=1.5,18.5Hz, H2-21), 5.89 (1H,s,H-22). Based on the data, the compound was identified as cannogenol.

COR-7 (Fusidic acid, 60mg)
It was obtained as colourless substance, m.p.190-1920C . The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the compound  showed  signals for  five methyl singlets, one methyl doublet, four olefinic carbons and a carbonyl of a carboxylic acid (d, C 173.8), were indicative of a fusidane of the fusidic acid skeleton. Assuming that the methyl doublet was C-28 of the fusidane skeleton, the protons of this group coupled to a methine proton (d,H 1.54, H-4) in the COSY spectrum. H-4 formed part of a spin system with a deshielded methane (d,H 3.73, H-3) and two methylene groups (at C-2 and C-1). In the HMBC spectrum, C-1 was coupled to by the protons of methyl-C19 (d,H 0.95) which showed further couplings to C-10 (2J), C-9 (3J) and C-5 (3J). In the COSY spectrum, H- 5 (d,H 2.31 m) coupled to both protons of a methylene moiety (C-6, d,H 1.45, 1.67), Inspection of the HMBC spectrum showed that the carbon associated with this deshielded proton was coupled to by the protons of a further angular methyl singlet (C-30), which showed additional couplings to a methine carbon (C-9) and two quaternary carbons (C-8, dC 45.6 and C-14, d C 49.6). This completed the resonances for the A and B rings of compound. Inspection of the COSY spectrum showed that the proton associated with C-9 (H-9) formed part of a CH–CH–CH2–CH spin system which allowed identification of positions C-9, C-11, C-12 and C-13, respectively. C-11 was deshielded (d, C 68.7, d,H 4.37) indicating that an oxygen should be placed here. H-13 was also deshielded (d,H 3.05) suggesting that it was allylic and that an olefinic carbon (C-17) should be placed at the neighbouring carbon, which is typical for fusidic acid .The protons of a methyl group (C-18) coupled to C-13 (3J), C-14 (2J) and to a methylene carbon (C-15, 3J). CH2-15 coupled to a deshielded allylic methylene group (d,H 2.68, 2.86 (CH2- 16)) which again was supportive of being alpha to an olefinic carbon (C-17, dC 160.4). This completed rings C and D of 1. H-13 and H2-16 both gave a 2J coupling to C-17 and a 3J coupling to C-20, suggesting a C-17, 20 double  bond. In the HMBC spectrum C-17 was also coupled to by the protons of an allylic methylene (C-22, d,H 2.44) which also coupled to a carbonyl carbon of a carboxylic acid group (C-21) and an olefinic methine carbon (C-24, dC 124.0). A further methylene (C-23) could be placed between C-22 and C-24 by couplings observed in the COSY spectrum. Finally, two deshielded geminal methyl groups could be placed on an olefinic carbon (C-25) via their HMBC correlations to this carbon and to the olefinic partner C-24 finalising the C-24–C-25 double bond. These resonances completed the eight carbon chain of the fusidane triterpene skeleton. Chemical shift of the C-21 carbon, a carboxylic acid must be placed at C-21 and this is identical to the fusidic acid. 83-109

Results and Discussion
The chemical examination of the roots of C.olitorius on conventional extraction and a sequence of chromatographic methods afforded seven compounds.. These are characterized as β-sitosterol, 2-methylanthraquinone, scopoletin, betulinic acid, corchoroside –A , cannogenol and fusidic acid. Out of these compounds, 2 - methyl anthraquinone and fusidic acids were new to the genus Corchorus and reported for the first time from C.olitorius. Occurance  of coumarins in Corchorus genus are rare, but the author could isolate scopoletin, a coumarin from this species.
