| Abstract: | Six new lanostane triterpenes, artabotryols A, B, C1, C2, D, and E ( 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4 , and 5 , resp.) have been isolated from the seeds of Artabotrys odoratissimus (Annonaceae). Their structures have been established as (3α,22S,25R)‐3‐hydroxy‐22,26‐epoxylanost‐8‐en‐26‐one ( 1 ), (3α,22S,25R)‐22,26‐epoxylanost‐8‐ene‐3,26‐diol ( 2 ), (3α,22S,25R,26R)‐26‐methoxy‐22,26‐epoxylanost‐8‐en‐3‐ol ( 3a ), (3α,22S,25R, 26S)‐26‐methoxy‐22,26‐epoxylanost‐8‐en‐3‐ol ( 3b ), (3α,22S,25R)‐3,22‐dihydroxylanost‐8‐en‐26‐oic acid ( 4 ) and (3α,7α,11α,22S,25R)‐3,7,11‐trihydroxy‐22,26‐epoxylanost‐8‐en‐26‐one ( 5 ) by spectroscopic studies and chemical correlations. |
