Mp. Calcagno et al., A NEW FAMILY OF PHYTOECDYSTEROIDS ISOLATED FROM AERIAL PART OF AJUGA-REPTANS VAR ATROPURPUREA, Tetrahedron, 51(44), 1995, pp. 12119-12126
A new family of four phytoecdysteroids have been isolated from aerial
part of Ajuga reptans var. atropurpurea harvested at the beginning of
autumn. These compounds show a novel 22-oxo-12 beta-hydroxy functional
ization of the C-28 and C-29 gamma-lactonic ecdysteroids. The structur
e of those compounds was inferred from the corresponding IR, H-1 and C
-13-NMR and HPLC-MS(TSP) spectral data.
