Abstract
A new 12-membered macrolide (1) along with two known C-31 and four known C-32 cycloartane triterpenoids (2-7) were isolated from the tubers of Bletilla striata. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis, including 1D NMR, 2D NMR, and HRESIMS. The chemotaxonomic significance of these isolates, especially C-31 and C-32 cycloartane triterpenoids, are discussed. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the co-occurrence of the unusual 24-methyl, 24-ethyl, and 24,24-dimethyl cycloartane triterpenoids in the family Orchidaceae.
