Abstract:
The chemical composition of root extracts of the title species collected at 20 different places in the Hengduan Mountains of China was examined. From these samples, a total of 17 eremophilane derivatives were isolated, three of which were new franoeremophilane derivatives: 3beta-acetoxy-6beta-(angeloyloxy)furanoeremophilan-10beta-ol, 1alpha-acetoxyfuranoeremophilan-15,6alpha-olide, and 6beta-[2-(hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enoyloxy]furanoeremophil-1(10)-ene. Based on the chemical composition, the samples could be classified into as many as seven types: one type containing non-furanoeremophilane derivatives and the other six containing furanoeremophilane derivatives with different oxidation levels. Results of DNA sequencing of the atpB-rbcL region and the internal transcribed spacers of the ribosomal RNA gene also indicated a high diversity in the species.
