Abstract:
Two new dammarane triterpenes 3beta-acetyl-20S,24R-dammarane-25-ene-24-hydroperoxy-20-ol (1), 20S,24R-dammarane-25-ene-24-hydroperoxy-3beta,20-diol (2), as well as three known dammarane triterpenes, 3beta-acetyl-20S,25-epoxydammarane-24alpha-ol (3), 20S,25-epoxydammarane-3beta,24alpha-diol (4), 20S-dammarane-23-ene-3beta,20,25-triol (5) were isolated from the fruits of Ligustrum lucidum. Compounds 3-5 were isolated from the fruits of L. lucidum for the first time. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
