β¦ Synopsis
Withametelin, a novel hexacyclic withanolide of Datura mete1 leaves has been characterized as 1 on the basis of spectroscopic studies.
Datura is one of the few genera in the family Solanaceae that are known to elaborate C28-steroidal lactones, built on ergostane-framework. While reports on the isolation of withanolides from several Datura species are on record, ' no withanolide has yet been isolated from Datura mete1 Linn& and, therefore, --this species was taken up for chemical investigation.
