Two new withanolides, namely (20S,22R)-15a-acetoxy-5a-chloro-6b,14b-dihydroxy-1-oxowitha-2,24-dienolide (1) and (22R)-5b,6b : 14a,17 : 14b,26-triepoxy-2a-ethoxy-13,20,22-trihydroxy-1,15-dioxo-16a,24-cyclo-13,14-secoergosta-18,27-dioic acid 18 ! 20,27 ! 22-dilactone (2), along with six known compounds, physagulin B (3), withangulatin A (4), physalin I (5), withaminimin (6), physagulin J (7), and ergosta-5,25-diene-3b,24x-diol (8), were isolated from the whole plant of Physalis alkekengi var. francheti. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses.
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.
