Abstract:

Six sesquiterpenes, including three guaiane type sesquiterpenes (13), one oplopanone type sesquiterpene (4), one xanthane type sesquiterpene (5) and one salvialane type sesquiterpene (6), were isolated from Alisma plantago-aquatica for the first time. The structures of these six compounds were elucidated as alismoxide (1), alismol (2), orientalol B (3), oplopanone (4), gibberodione (5), and 7α,10α-epoxy-salvialan-10β-ol (6), respectively, among which 6 was a new natural product. Xanthane type and salvialane type sesquiterpenes were obtained from the genus Alisma for the first time. In addition, a plausible biosynthetic pathway for all isolates was discussed.
