Three new withanolides, coagulins P, Q and R, were isolated from the whole
plant of Withania coagulans. Their structures were determined as 20,27-dihy
droxy-3 beta-(O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-1-oxo-(20S,22R)-witha-5,14,24-trieno
lide, 1 alpha,20-dihydroxy-3 beta-(O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-(20S,22R)-witha
-5,24-dienolideand 3 beta,17 beta-dihydroxy-14,20-epoxy-1-oxo-(22R)-witha-5
,24-dienolide by a combination of 1D- and 2D-NMR and mass spectroscopic stu
dies. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
