Dammarane triterpenes from Cabralea canjerana (Vell.) Mart. (Meliaceae): their chemosystematic significance

The stem of Cabralea canjerana (Vell.) Mart. yielded three new dammarane triterpenes 20S,24S-epoxy-7β,25-dihydroxy-3,4-secodammar-4(28)-en-3-oic acid, 20S,24S-epoxy-7β,15α,25-trihydroxy-3,4-secodammar-4(28)-en-3-oic acid and 20S,24R-epoxy-7β,22ξ,25-trihydroxy-3,4-secodammar-4(28)-en-3-oic acid, whic...

Sumario:The stem of Cabralea canjerana (Vell.) Mart. yielded three new dammarane triterpenes 20S,24S-epoxy-7β,25-dihydroxy-3,4-secodammar-4(28)-en-3-oic acid, 20S,24S-epoxy-7β,15α,25-trihydroxy-3,4-secodammar-4(28)-en-3-oic acid and 20S,24R-epoxy-7β,22ξ,25-trihydroxy-3,4-secodammar-4(28)-en-3-oic acid, which were identified on the basis of spectroscopic methods. The known dammarane triterpenes ocotillone, eichlerianic acid, shoreic acid and the sterols sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitostenone and stigmast-5-en-3-one were also isolated and identified. The branches yielded the above three known dammaranes and eichlerialactone. The dammaranes in C. canjerana display strong similarities with Trichilieae tribe, which contains several dammaranes. The data reported herein thus provide firm support for placing Cabralea within the subfamily Melioideae, Trichilieae tribe.
