Title: Oleanane-type triterpenes of Embelia schimperi leaves. Author: Manguro LO, Okwiri SO, Lemmen P. Journal: Phytochemistry; 2006 Dec; 67(24):2641-50. PubMed ID: 16973190. Abstract: An investigation of an ethyl acetate extract of Embelia schimperi leaves has led to the isolation of 10 oleanane-type triterpenes characterized as 3beta,16alpha-di-O-acetyl-13beta, 28-epoxyoleanane (1), 3beta-acetyl-16-oxo-13beta, 28-epoxyoleanane (2), 3beta-acetyl-16alpha-hydroxy-13beta, 28-epoxyoleanane (3), 3beta-acetyl-16alpha-hydroxyoleanane-13beta, 28-olide (4), 3beta-acetyl-28-hydroxy-16-oxo-12-oleanene (5), 3beta, 28-di-O-acetyl-16alpha-hydroxy-12-oleanene (6), 3beta-acetyl-11alpha, 28-dihydroxy-16-oxo-12-oleanene (7), 3beta, 11alpha, 16alpha, 28-tetrahydroxy-12-oleanene (8), 3beta-acetyl-16alpha, 28alpha-dihydroxy-13beta, 28-oxydooleanane (9) and 3beta, 28alpha-dihydroxy-16-oxo-13beta, 28-oxydooleanane (10). The known compounds isolated from the same extract included 3beta, 16alpha-dihydroxy-13beta, 28-epoxyoleanane (protoprimulagenin A) (11), 3beta-hydroxy-16-oxo-13beta, 28-epoxyoxyoleanane (aegicerin) (12), 3, 16-dioxo-13beta, 28-epoxyoleanane (embilionone) (13), 3beta, 28-dihydroxy-16-oxo-12-oleanene (schimperinone) (14), taraxerone (15), taraxerol (16) and stigmasterol (17). Structure elucidations were carried out spectroscopically.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
