Bisnortriterpenoids Possessing an 18-Nor-schiartane Skeleton from Schisandra propinqua var. propinqua

Abstract

Six C₂₈ triterpenoids with an 18-nor-schiartane framework were isolated from the aerial parts of Schisandra propinqua var. propinqua. The new compounds, propindilactones P–S (1–4), were structurally characterized by extensive spectroscopic methods. New compounds 2 and 3, together with known wuweizidilactones B and H (5–6), were evaluated for their anti-HBV activity.

Key words

Propindilactone - Schisandra propinqua var. propinqua - Schisandraceae - triterpenoid - 18‐nor‐schiartane - anti‐HBV activity
