Abstract:
Two new pentacyclic triterpenoids myricarin A and B (1 and 2) have been isolated from the stems of Myricaria paniculata, together with seven known compounds, myriconal, 28-hydroxy-14-taraxeren-3-one, epi-friedelanol, beta-sitosterol, 4-methyl stigmast-7-en-3-ol, 12-hentriacontanol and 1-triacontanol. Their structures have been established by chemical and spectroscopic methods. Cytotoxic activities of 1 and 2 have been evaluated against several different cell lines.
