Thirty new pentacyclic triterpenoids, including five oleanane-type (1-5), twenty-three ursane-type (9-23, 26-33) and two taraxerane-type (24 and 25), along with fourteen known triterpenoids, were isolated from the stems and branches of Enkianthus chinensis. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, X-ray crystallographic data and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) techniques. Sixteen compounds (1-5, 9-13, 20, 22, 32, 34-36) bearing a gem-hydroxymethyl group at C-4 represent rare examples of pentacyclic triterpenoids. In the in vitro biological activity evaluation, compounds 8, 9, 12-14, 17, 24, and 44 exhibited potent hepatoprotective effects at 10 μM. Moreover, compound 25 showed latent activity against HSV-1 with an IC value of 6.4 μM.
从中国马先蒿的茎和枝中分离得到 30 种新的五环三萜类化合物,包括 5 种齐墩果烷型(1-5)、23 种熊果烷型(9-23、26-33)和 2 种蒲公英烷型(24 和 25),以及 14 种已知的三萜类化合物。通过广泛的光谱分析、X 射线晶体学数据和电子圆二色性(ECD)技术阐明了它们的结构。具有 C-4 位偕羟甲基的 16 种化合物(1-5、9-13、20、22、32、34-36)代表了五环三萜类化合物的罕见实例。在体外生物活性评价中,化合物 8、9、12-14、17、24 和 44 在 10 μM 时表现出很强的保肝作用。此外,化合物 25 对 HSV-1 表现出潜在的活性,IC 值为 6.4 μM。
