Withanolides from Physalis hispida

Abstract

Nine new withanolides (1-9), withahisolides A-I, were isolated along with nine known compounds (10-18) from the aerial parts of Physalis hispida. The structures of 1-9 were elucidated through a variety of spectroscopic techniques, while the structures of 1 and 2 were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compounds 1-3 are the first withanolides with nonaromatic six-membered ring D moieties. In addition, withanolide 8 represents a novel withanolide skeleton due to the absence of a C-13-C-17 bond within the steroidal nucleus.
