Structure determination of ursene-type triterpenes by NMR techniques.
Two new ursene-type triterpenes, nudicauline A and nudicauline B, have been isolated from Launaea nudicaulis. Their structures have been assigned as 3beta-hydroxy-urs-11-ene (1) and 3beta-acetyl-urs-11-ene (2), respectively, by extensive NMR studies. In addition, olean-11,13(18)-diene (3), 3beta-hydroxy-13(28)-epoxy-urs-11-ene (4) and 3-keto-13(28)-epoxy-urs-11-ene (5) are also reported for the first time from this species.
