Four new sesquiterpenoids (1-4) and six known sesquiterpenoids (5-10), were isolated from the EtOAc phase of the ethanolic extract of Ainsliaea yunnanensis. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods, including 1-D, 2-D NMR and HPLC-MS. All
BACKGROUND
Ainsliaea fragrans Champ. (A. fragrans) is a traditional Chinese herbal that contains components like 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid and 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid. It exhibits anti-inflammatory activities which has been used for the treatment of gynecological diseases for many years in China.
Three new sesquiterpenoids, 4α-hydroxyeudesm-11(13)-en-12-yl 3-methylbutanoate (1), diaspanolide E (2), and (13α)-germacra-1(10),4-dien-12,8α-olid-15-oic acid (3), along with eight known sesquiterpenoids (4 - 11), were isolated from the aerial parts of Ainsliaea henryi. The chemical structures of
Three new sesquiterpenes: 4-acrylic-6-methyl-α-tetralone (1), ainsliaea acid A (2) and ainsliaea acid B (3), together with 8 known compounds (4-11) were isolated from the whole herb of Ainsliaea glabra and their structures were established by means of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and HR-ESIMS.
Investigation of the ethanol extract of the whole plant of Ainsliaea yunnanensis led to the isolation of four new dimeric sesquiterpene lactones, ainsliadimer F-I (1-4), together with seven known dimeric sesquiterpene lactones (5-11) and ten sesquiterpenes (12-21). Their structures were elucidated
One new pentacyclic triterpenoid, 3β-carboxylicfilic-4(23)-ene (1), and three known pentacyclic triterpenoids, adian-5-en-3α-ol (2), fernenol (3), and fern-7-en-3β-ol (4) were isolated from the petroleum ether phase of the ethanolic extract of Ainsliaea yunnanensis Franch. Their structures were
