Abstract:
In a previous paper (1) the isolation of triptolide, tripdiolide and triptonolide from
Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. was reported. This paper reports the isolation of three other diterpenoid-lactones: (1) triptophenolide, C
20H
24O
3, mp 232~233℃; (2) triptophenolide methyl ether, C
21H
26O
3, mp 152~154℃, and (3) neotriptophenolide, C
21H
26O
4, mp 189~191℃. Their structures are assigned as Ⅴ, Ⅵ and Ⅶ, respectively, by spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, MS,
1HNMR and
13CNMR) and preparation of their derivatives. It has beert shown that Ⅵ and Ⅶ are new diterpenoid compounds.
