Tetranortriterpenoids and related substances. Part XVII. A new skeletal class of triterpenoids from Guarea glabra(Meliaceae)
Abstract
Seven new triterpenoids from the heartwood of Guarea glabra are formulated as (1)–(5), (14), and (26) on the basis of chemical, spectroscopic, and X-ray evidence. All are based on the novel pentacyclic triterpane skeleton, (20S)-4,4,8β-trimethyl-14,18-cyclo-5α,13α,14α,17α-cholestane (16).
