Crotocascarins I–K: Crotofolane-Type Diterpenoids, Crotocascarin γ, Isocrotofolane Glucoside and Phenolic Glycoside from the Leaves of Croton cascarilloides

摘要

From the 1-BuOH-soluble fraction of a methanol (MeOH) extract of the leaves of Croton cascarilloides , crotofolanes: crotocascarins I–K, nor-crotofolane: crotocascarin γ, isocrotofolane glucoside and phenolic glycoside were isolated by a combination of various separation techniques. Their structures were elucidated mainly from the NMR spectroscopic evidence. The structure of crotocascarin K was first elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and then was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Its absolute structure was finally determined by the modified Mosher’s method. Isocrotofolane glucoside was found to possess a new skeleton, however, its absolute structure remains to be determined.
