Abstract
Eleven new triterpenes, cavalerols AβK (1β11, resp.), ten of which were derivatives of hopane and one was derivative of dammarane, were isolated from the twigs of Eurycorymbus cavaleriei. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 2DβNMR analysis. Cavalerol D (4) and cavalerol F (6), cavalerol B (2), and cavalerol G (7) were two pairs of isomers, and silver ion was introduced for their differentiation by multiβstage tandem mass spectrometry. And nine compounds, except 5 and 10, were tested for quinone reductase (QR) induction activities in vitro, and results showed that compounds 2, 4, and 7 exhibited moderate induction activities with CD values of 8.62, 9.13, and 2.56β ΞΌg/ml, respectively, and compounds 6 and 8 showed cytotoxicity against hepa 1c1c7 cell line with IC~50~ values of no more than 1β ΞΌg/ml.
