Dysotriflorins A–M, triterpenoids from Dysoxylum densiflorum

Thirteen new triterpenoids, dysotriflorins A–M (1–13), were isolated from Dysoxylum densiflorum barks, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR spectroscopic data and X-ray crystallography. Dysotriflorins A, B, and K–M (1, 2, and 11–13) were concluded to be unique 13,17-secodammarane triterpenoids, and dysotriflorins C–J (3–10) to be dammarane triterpenoids. Dysotriflorins showed in vitro cytotoxic activity against several cancer cell lines.
