Rosanortriterpenes A–B, two new nortriterpenes from the fruits of Rosa laevigata var. leiocapus

Abstract

One new oleanane-type nortriterpene, rosanortriterpene A (1), and one new ursane-type nortriterpene, rosanortriterpene B (2), were isolated from the fruits of Rosa laevigata var. leiocapus. The structures of 1–2 were fully characterised on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including IR, HRESIMS, as well as 1D and 2D NMR spectral data (HSQC, ¹H–¹H COSY, and HMBC). To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first study on the chemical constituents of R. laevigata var. leiocapus. Compounds 1–2 exhibited moderate inhibitory effects on NO production in LPS stimulated RAW264.7 cells with IC₅₀ values of 29.29 ± 3.64 and 14.28 ± 1.20 μM, respectively.
