New megastigmane glycoside and aromadendrane derivative from the aerial part of Piper elongatum

Abstract

A new megastigmane glycoside, called pipeloside A, and a new aromadendrane type sesquiterpenoid, pipelol A, were isolated from the MeOH extract of the aerial part of Piper elongatum VAHL. along with a known megastigmane glycoside, byzantionoside B. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical evidence. © 2002 Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
