Four new (9betaH)-lanostanes, i.e., (9betaH)-3beta-acetoxylanosta-7,24-diene, (9betaH)-3-oxolanosta-7,24-diene, (9betaH,24R)-3beta-acetoxy-24-hydroxylanosta-7,25-diene, and (9betaH,24S)-3beta-acetoxy-24-hydroxylanosta-7,25-diene, two new lanostanes, i.e., (24R)-3beta-acetoxy-24-hydroxylanosta-8,25-diene and (24S)-3beta-acetoxy-24-hydroxylanosta-8,25-diene, and two known lanostanes, i.e., 3beta-acetoxylanosta-8,24-diene and 3-oxolanosta-8,24-diene, were obtained from a new Mikania species (Asteraceae) besides pentacyclic triterpenes, steroids, and diterpenes. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods. This is the second study about acetyl-lanosterols from higher plants. Moreover, (9betaH)-lanostanes are very rare metabolites from dicotyledone angiosperms. The occurrence of these terpenes together in the same plant makes the species a good source for lanostane- and (9betaH)-lanostane-biosynthesis studies.
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.
