“…1 H and 13 C spectra together with 1 H, 1 H-COSY and 1 H, 13 C-HMQC spectra were used for complete (or nearly complete) structure assignment of carbon and proton signals. Characteristic NMR data of compounds 2, 3, 5, 7-14 (Tables II-IV) correspond with the published data of carthamosterone 3 (2), makisterone C 3,22 (3), 3-epi-20-hydroxyecdysone 23,24 (5), integristerone A 25,26 (7), integristerone B 25 (8), isovitexirone 4 (9), 22-oxo-20-hydroxyecdysone 27 (10), taxisterone 26,28 (11), rubrosterone 26,29 (12), dihydrorubrosterone 26,30 (13) and poststerone 26,31 (14), summarised in the Ecdysone 24 . Integristerones A and B (7, 8) were found in the related Rhaponticum integrifolium 25 .…”
