title: A new ecdysteroid, 2-deoxy-5beta,20-dihydroxyecdysone from the fruits of Diploclisia glaucescens.
abstract: Chemical investigation of ethyl acetate extract of the fruits of Diploclisia glaucescens of the family Menispermaceae furnished a new ecdysteroid 2-deoxy-5beta,20-dihydroxyecdysone, together with 20-hydroxyecdysone, 3-deoxy-1beta,20-dihydroxyecdysone, 2-deoxy-20-hydroxyecdysone, 24-ethyl-20-hydroxyecdysone (makisterone C). Latter two ecdysteroids are reported first time from the family Menispermaceae.
