Abstract

Four eudesmane glucosides, alatosides A–D ( 1– 4), and one megastigmane glucoside, alatoside E ( 5), were isolated from the BuOH fraction of Laggera alata along with six known compounds. Structures of the new compounds were elucidated by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods. Alatosides A–E were characterized as: 1α- O-(β- d-glucopyranosyloxyl)-7- epi-eudesma-11-en-2β,4α-diol ( 1), 2β- O-(β- d-glucopyranosyloxyl)-eudesma-4α-hydroxyl-11(13)-en-12-oic-acid ( 2), 5β- O-(β- d-glucopyranosyloxyl)-eudesma-4(15),11(13)-dien-12-oic-acid ( 3), 5α- O-(β- d-glucopyranosyloxyl)-eudesma-3,11(13)-dien-12-oic acid ( 4) and 3β- O-(β- d-glucopyranosyloxyl)-megastigma-9-one ( 5), respectively. Based on the chemical characteristics of eudesmane derivatives isolated from the Laggera genus, it was suggested that there are probably two different biogenetic pathways for these secondary metabolites in this genus.
