AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers isolated two new triterpenes, ailexcelone and ailexcelol, along with several known compounds, from the heartwood of the plant Ailanthus excelsa.
  • The structures of the new compounds were determined using 1D- and 2D-NMR data analysis.
  • The study marked the first isolation of ocotillone, malabaricol, and epoxymalabaricol from A. excelsa, and all the isolated compounds were tested for antifungal activity.

Article Abstract

Two new dammarane-type triterpenes, ailexcelone and ailexcelol, together with ocotillone, malabaricol, epoxymalabaricol, lupeol, and sitosterol-3-O-beta-D-glucoside were isolated from the heartwood of Ailanthus excelsa. The structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of 1D- and 2D-NMR data. Ocotillone, malabaricol and epoxymalabaricol were isolated for the first time from A. excelsa. All of the isolates were tested for their antifungal activity.
