Zh. Jiang et al., CHILIANTHINS A-F, 6 TRITERPENE ESTERS HAVING DIMERIC STRUCTURES FROM RHIOPTELEA-CHILIANTHA DIELS ET HAND-MAZZ, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 44(9), 1996, pp. 1669-1675
Five triterpene-lignan esters, chilianthins A-E (2-6) and a triterpene
-naphthalene carboxylic acid ester, chilianthin F (7), were isolated f
rom the bark of Rhoiptelea chiliantha DIELS et HAND.-MAZZ. (Rhoiptelea
ceae), together with a known triterpene caffeate, 27-caffeoyloxy-3 bet
a-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (myriceric acid B, 1). Their structur
es were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence
. Chilianthins A (2), B (3), C (4) and E (6) were biomimetically synth
esized from 1 by oxidative coupling.
