New dammarane-type glycosides from Gynostemma pentaphyllum

J Nat Prod. 1995 Apr;58(4):512-9. doi: 10.1021/np50118a005.

Abstract

Four novel dammarane glycosides were isolated from a MeOH extract of the aerial parts of Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D nmr experiments, including 1H-1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY, HOHAHA, NOESY) and 1H-13C heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR). The aglycone moieties are the new dammarane-type triterpenes (20S)-3 beta,20,23 xi-trihydroxydammar-24-en-21-oic acid-21,23-lactone for 1, the corresponding epimer at C-20(20R) for 2, (20S)-dammar-23-ene-3 beta-20,25,26- tetraol for 3, and (20R)-dammar-25-ene-3 beta,20,21,24 xi-tetraol for 4.
