Two new serratane triterpenoids were isolated from the stem bark of Pi
cea jezoensis var. hondoensis, together with three known compounds, 3
beta-hydroxyserrat-14-en-21-one, 21 alpha-hydroxy-3 beta-methoxyserrat
-14-en-30-al and 29-nor-3 beta-methoxyserrat-14-en-21-one. Th-structur
es of the new compounds were characterized as 21 alpha-hydroxy-3 beta-
methoxyserrat-14-en-29-al and 29-nor-3 alpha-methoxyserrat-14-en-21-on
e, on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. (C) 1998 Published by Elsev
