Novel ceramides, rel-(3S,4S,5S)-3-[(2R)-2-hydroxy- (2) were isolated from the aqueous ethanolic extract of the roots of Incarvillea arguta, together with eight known compounds: β-sitosterol (3), oleanolic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), piperin (6), maslinic acid (7), β-sitosterol 6′-O-acyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), 8-epideoxyloganic acid (9), and plantarenaloside (10). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data including IR, MS, NMR [ 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer), 1 H-1 H COSY, heteronuclear multiplequantum coherence, and heteronuclear multiple-bond coherence correlations]. The relative configurations were established by nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy experiments and by comparison of the NMR spectral data and coupling constants with those already reported in the literature.
