Abstract:

Seven steroidal lactones of the withanolide series have been isolated as minor constituents of the leaves of Withania somnifera Dun. (Solanaceae) chemotype I, along with the major component withaferin A. Structures have been assigned to the new compounds: withanolide N (17α,27-dihydroxy-1-oxo-20R,22R-witha-2,5,14,24-tetraenolide) (6a) and withanolide O (4β,17α-dihydroxy-1-oxo-20R,22R-witha-2,5,8(14),24-tetraenolide) (7a). Similarly the leaves of W. somnifera chemotype II afforded three new withanolides along with the major component withanolide D (9a) and trace amounts of withanolide G (10). The new compounds are: 27-hydroxywithanolide D(4β,20α,27-trihydroxy-1-oxo-5β,6β-epoxy-20R,22R-witha-2,24-dienolide) (11a), 14α-hydroxywithanolide D (4β,14α,20α-trihydroxy-1-oxo-5β,6β-epoxy-20R,22R-witha-2,24-dienolide) (12a) and 17α-hydroxywithanolide D (4β,17β,20α-trihydroxy-1-oxo-5β,6β-epoxy-20S,22R-witha-2,24-dienolide) (13a). Whereas all the withanolides of chemotype I are unsubstituted at C-20 (20α-H), those of chemotype II possess an OH at this position (20α-OH). © 1975.
