parnassia/beta agarofuran

Five new (4-8) and three known (1-3) dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpene polyesters were isolated from the whole plants of Parnassia wightiana. The structures of all compounds were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis including 2D-NMR and HR-MS. The absolute configuration of these compounds was

Five new sesquiterpene polyol esters with a dihydro-β-agarofuran skeleton, designated as wightianines A-E (1-5), besides two known compounds, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the whole plant of the traditional herbal medicine Parnassia wightiana Wall. The structures of the isolated

Four new (1-4), along with six known (5-10) dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpene polyesters were isolated from the whole plants of Parnassia wightiana. The new compounds were structurally elucidated through spectroscopic analysis including UV (Ultraviolet Spectrum), IR (Infrared Spectrum), ¹H-NMR

Five new derivatives (2-6) were semi-synthesized using compound 1, a dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpene with C-2 ketone obtained from Parnassia wightiana, as the starting material by acylation, oxidation, reduction, esterification, and amination, respectively. Structures of 2-6 were confirmed by 1D-
