Two new dammarane triterpenoids from Kageneckia angustifolia D. Don

Abstract

Two new dammarane triterpenoids, 20R,21-epoxydammar-24-ene-3,23-dione and 20R,21-epoxy-3 beta-hydroxydammar-24-ene-23-one have been isolated from the aerial parts of Kageneckia angustifolia D. Don, Rosaceae, along with the previously reported triterpenoids oleanolic acid and 3 beta-(beta-D-glucosyloxy)16 alpha,23 alpha-epoxycucurbita-5,24-dien-11-one and the phenolic prunasin. The structures of these compounds were established by MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments, and the structure of the new compounds were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.
