Abstract
We report on the chemical investigation of dikamali gum, which is the resin of Gardenia gummifera and G. lucida (Rubiaceae). Six new cycloartane triterpenes, dikamaliartanes A-F (1-6, resp.), together with a known flavonoid (7), were isolated and identified by NMR spectroscopy. All six cycloartanes are characterized by an open A-ring with a free COOH group at C(3). In four of them, the C-atoms C(23)-C(27) form a 4-methylfuran-2-yl moiety. Bacterial assays using Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Mycobacteria have been carried out but did not reveal significant activity.
