Tricalysiosides H-O: Ent-kaurane glucosides from the leaves of Tricalysia dubia.

Eight ent-kaurane glucosides, named tricalysiosides H-O, were isolated from Tricalysia dubia. Tricalysioside H possessed a hydroxyl group at the 1-position, to which the glucose moiety was attached. The structure was first elucidated by means of spectroscopic data analysis and finally confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Since acid hydrolysis of 1 gave D-glucose, the aglycone was proved to have an enantio-kaurane type skeleton. The structures of tricalysiosides I-O were mainly elucidated from analysis of spectroscopic evidence.
