I. Kitagawa et al., INDONESIAN MEDICINAL-PLANTS .15. CHEMICAL STRUCTURES OF 5 NEW RESIN-GLYCOSIDES, MERREMOSIDE-A, MERREMOSIDE-B, MERREMOSIDE-C, MERREMOSIDE-D,AND MERREMOSIDE-E, FROM THE TUBER OF MERREMIA-MAMMOSA (CONVOLVULACEAE), Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 44(9), 1996, pp. 1680-1692
Five new resin-glycosides, named merremosides a (1), b (2), c (3), d (
4), and e (5), were isolated from the tuber of Merremia mammosa (LOUR.
) HALLIER f, (Convolvulaceae), an Indonesian medicinal plant. The stru
ctures of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been elucidated on the basis of chemi
cal and physicochemical evidence, including syntheses of (11S)-(+)- an
d (11R)-(-)-jalapinolic acid (16b and 18b) and the glycosidic acid des
ignated as merremoside i (6).
