A phytochemical study from fruits of Melia dubia Cav. collected in Quy Hop, Nghe An province led to the isolation of three secondary metabolites, including 21α-O-methylmelianodiol (1), 21β-O-methylmelianodiol (2) and (21S,23R,24R)- 21,23-epoxy-24-hydroxy-21β-methoxytirucalla-7,25-dien-3-one (3). The chemical structures of these compounds were determined based on 1D-, 2D- NMR, UV, IR, and MS analytical results and compared with reported data. All three compounds (1–3) were isolated from this plant for the first time. |
