From the ethanolic extract of the bark of Dysoxylum hainanense Merr., three
new seco-tetranortriterpenoids structurally related to prieurianin, dysoxy
lumins A (1), B (2) and C (3) were isolated. Their structures were elucidat
ed on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR techniques. The structure and stereochemis
try of compound 1 were demonstrated by X-Ray crystallography.
