Abstract

Three new lupan-type triterpernoid derivatives, namely globimetulin A (1), B (2) and C (3), were isolated from the shoot of Globimetula dinklagei (Loranthaceae), a hemiparasitic plant growing on Manihot esculenta, along with five known compounds: friedelin (4), friedelan-3-ol (5), 28-hydroxyfriedelin (6), 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid (7) and (1R,5S,7S)-7-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-2,6-dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one (8). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by detailed analyses of their MS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR spectral data and chemical evidence. Some of these compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antimicrobial activities against a wide range of microorganisms, but none of them exhibited noticeable activity.
