24-nor-Ursane type triterpenoids from the stems of Rumex japonicus

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2005 Dec;53(12):1594-6. doi: 10.1248/cpb.53.1594.

Abstract

Fractionation of an EtOAc-soluble extract of the stems of Rumex japonicus led to the isolation of two new 24-norursane type triterpenoids, 2alpha,3alpha,19alpha-trihydroxy-24-norurs-4(23),12-dien-28-oic acid (1) and 4(R),23-epoxy-2alpha,3alpha,19alpha-trihydroxy-24-norurs-12-en-28-oic acid (2), along with the known compounds myrianthic acid (3), tormentic acid, and emodin. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, particularly by extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies.
