Abstract
Four bioactive methyl-migrated 16,17-seco-dammarane type triterpene gl ycosides called hovenidulciosides A(1), A(2), B-1, and B-2 were isolat ed from a Chinese natural medicine, Hoveniae Semen Seu Fructus, the se eds and fruit of Hovenia dulcis THUNB. (Rhamnaceae) together with hodu loside III and (+)-gallocatechin. The absolute stereostructures of hov enidulciosides A(1), A(2), B-1, and B-2 have been elucidated bu chemic al and physicochemical evidence. All were found to inhibit the histami ne release from rat peritoneal exudate cells induced by compound 48/80 and calcium ionophore A-23187.
