Abstract:
Six new cycloartane triterpene glycosides (1-6), beesiosides A-F, were isolated from whole plants of Beesia calthaefolia, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive NMR experiments and chemical methods. Beesiosides A-F were assigned as (20S,24R)-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanostane-3beta,16beta,18,25-tetraol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (1), (20S,24R)-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanostane-3beta,12beta,16beta,18,25-pentaol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (2), (20S,24R)-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanostane-3beta,12alpha,16beta,18,25-pentaol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (3), (20S,24R)-16beta-acetoxy-20,24-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanostane-3beta,12alpha,18,25-tetraol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (4), (20S,24R)-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanostane-3beta,15alpha,16beta,18,25-pentaol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (5), and (20S,24R)-16beta-acetoxy-20,24-epoxy-9,19-cyclolanostane-3beta,12beta,25-triol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (6), respectively.
