Ixoroid: a new triterpenoid from the flowers of Ixora coccinea

Nat Prod Commun. 2012 Jul;7(7):831-4.

Abstract

A new natural terpenoid, ixoroid (1), was isolated from the flower of Ixora coccinea, along with the known constituents stigmast-5-en-3-O-beta-D-glucoside (2), 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3) and D-mannitol (4). The structure of ixoroid was elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR studies and mass spectrometry as 21,23-epoxy-tirucall-7-en-3beta-ol (1).
