At D 1.03 and a three-proton doublet at D 1.33, indicating the presence of a
trisubstituted double bond and two methyl groups, one
bonded to a quaternary carbon and another to a methine, respectively. The
spectroscopic data of 1 proved to be very similar to that reported for the aglycone of
amaloside C, a steroidal secondary metabolite with an extra hydroxyl group at C
8,isolated from Amalocalyx
yunnanensis (Apocynaceae (Shen et al ., 1993 ). The C - 14
location of the tertiary hydroxyl group in the structure of 1 was established by comparing the
chemical shift (85.3 ppm) of the oxygenated quaternary carbon in the
13 C NMR spectrum of 1, with those reported for the oxygenated carbons C
8 (76.1 ppm) and 14 C (86.4 ppm) and similar in amalosideC
pregnanes (Shen et al.,1993 ; Hu et al ., 1992 ). Alternatively, a 3
J HMBC correlation observed in the experiment between the protons of the
C - 19 methyl group at D 1.03 and the olefinic quaternary carbon at 139.8 ppm
C 5 confirmed the location of the double bond; similarly, the
3 J correlation observed between the protons of the C - 21
methyl group at D 1.33 and the methine carbon at 56.2 ppm, and the 2 J
correlation between the same and the oxygenated methine protons
carbon at 83.3 ppm, confirmed C 21 being a secondary methyl Group.
Both structure and the relative stereochemistry of 1
were confirmed unambiguously by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment
(Fig. 1) .The spectroscopic data of 1
proved to be identical to that reported for 3B, 14B, 20-trihydroxypregn - 5 - ene - 18 - oic- (18 - 20) -
lactone,a secondary metabolite isolated from previously Ecdysanthera
rosea Hook et Arn (Apocynaceae (Luger et al ., 1998 ), and
recently reported as the hydrolysis product of the novel saponins
ecdysantherosides A and B (Zhu et al ., 2011 ).
