Jz. Wu et al., STRUCTURES OF 3 NEW DITERPENOIDS, FRITILLEBIC ACID AND FRITILLEBIN-A AND FRITILLEBIN-B, FROM BULBS OF FRITILLARIA-EBEIENSIS GD-YU ET GQ-JU, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 43(9), 1995, pp. 1448-1453
A new diterpenoid, fritillebic acid (1) and four new diterpenoid dimer
s, fritillebins A (2) and B (3), and fritillebinides A and B, were iso
lated from a crude drug, bulbs of Fritillaria ebeiensis G. D. YU et G.
Q. JI. The structures of compounds 1-3 were determined to be ent-3 be
ta-acetoxy-16 beta-kauran-17-oic acid (1), ent-16 beta-hydroxykauran-1
7-yl-ent-3 beta-acetoxg-16 beta-kauran-17-oate (2), and ent-3 beta-ace
toxy-16 beta-hydroxykauran-17-yl ent-3 beta-acetoxy-16 beta-kauran-17-
oate (3), respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evi
dence.
