The roots of Stevia nepetifolia afforded the new longipinene derivative (4R,5S,7S,8S,9S,10R,11R,2'S,2''S)-(+)-7,8-di-(α-methylbutyryloxy)-9-hydroxylongipin-2-en-1-one (1), together with the known 7-angeloyloxy-8-(α-methylbutyryloxy)-9-hydroxylongipin-2-en-1-one (2), 7,8-diangeloyloxy-9-hydroxylongipin-2-en-1-one (3), valeranone, 2,3-epoxybisabol-10-en-1-one, γ-cadinene and α-cadinol. The new substance was fully characterized by 1D-and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, molecular modelling, and by partial synthesis using (S)-(+)-α-methylbutyric acid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
