Abstract:
Three sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the dichloromethane extract of the roots of Stelleropsis tianschanica Pobed through a combination of various chromatographic approaches, including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, reverse phase C
18 and so on. On the basis of spectroscopic data analysis, they were identified as (+)-guaia-l(10),ll-dien-9-one-5
α-hydroxy (
1), 4
β,5
βH-guai-9,7(11)-dien-12,8-olide-1
α,8
α-diol (
2), 4
α,5
βHguai-9,7(11)-dien-12,8-olide-1
α,8
α-diol (
3). The compound
1 is a new sesquiterpenoid, and the compound
3 was isolated for the first time from the genus Stelleropsis.
