Zh. Jiang et al., THE FIRST EUPHANE-TYPE TRITERPENE TRIDESMOSIDES AND BISDESMOSIDE FROMRHOIPTELEA-CHILIANTHA, Tetrahedron, 53(50), 1997, pp. 16999-17008
Two euphane-type triterpene tridesmosides rhoiptelesides A (1) and B (
2), and a bisdesmoside, rhoipteleside E (3) were isolated from the lea
ves and fruits of Rhoiptelea chiliantha Diels et Hand.-Mau. (Rhoiptele
aceae). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive ana
lysis of their 1D and 2D-NMR spectral data and chemical evidence. Thes
e compounds represent the first example of the glycoside of euphane-ty
pe triterpene. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
