✦ Synopsis
Paeoniflorigenone (l), a new monoterpene which produces a neuromuscular-blocking effect in mice, was isolated from paeony roots and its structure was elucidated. In the course of our study on pharmacologically active principles of Paeoniae Radix, a new monoterpene, named paeoniflorigenone (PFG), was isolated from roots of Pueonia aZbifZora PALLAS in 0.04 % yield along with benzoic acid and paeoniflorin (5). PFG was found to produce a blocking effect on neuromuscular junction in phrenic nerve diaphragm preparations of mice. The ether-soluble fraction of the water extracts was chromatographed on silica gel with CHCl, to give PFG (1) as colorless viscous oil, [c~]2,~+4.3'(c 0.69, MeOH); UV Xmax MeoHnm(logc): 220(3.94), 258(sh), 263(2.90), 270(2.83

Three new monoterpenoids named paeonilactone-A, -B, and -C were isolated from Paeony root (roots of Paeonia albiflora PALLAS var. trichocarpa BUNGE) and their structures were determined to be 2,, 3, and 4, respectively, by means of chemical and spectroscopic studies.
