Abstract

Two new sesquiterpene glycosides, namely massonside A (1) and massonside B (2), were isolated from the n-Bu extract of the fresh needles of Pinus massoniana Lamb. Their structures were established by 1D, 2D nuclear magnetic resonance and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Their biological activities were profiled by the anti-HBV and anti-HCV assays.

Keywords: HBV; HCV; Pinus massoniana Lamb.; fresh needles; massonside A; massonside B; sesquiterpene glycosides.
