Two new terpenoids from Trichilia quadrijuga (Meliaceae)

Abstract

Two new terpenoids, ambrosanoli-10(14)-en-11,12-diol (1), a sesquiterpene named quadrijugol, and a pregnane steroid, 3β,4β-dihydroxypregnan-16- one (2), were isolated from the stem and leaves of Trichilia quadrijuga, along with eleven known compounds, spathulenol, kudtdiol, 2β,3β,4β- trihydroxypregnan-16-one, bourjotinolone B, piscidinol, niloticin, dihydroniloticin, β-sitosterol, 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-sitosterol, itesmol and stigmasterol. Structures were elucidated by spectral data analysis, mainly afforded by 1H and 13C NMR (1D and 2D NMR HMQC, HMBC, NOESY and COSY) and mass spectra.
