, p. 214 - 216 (1993)
Five new amino acid-sesquiterpene adducts, saussureamines A, B, C, D, and E, were isolated from Chinese Saussureae Radix, the dried root of Saussurea lappa Clarke, together with a new lignan glycoside, (-)-massoniresinol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside. Their structures were determined on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. Among of these compounds, saussureamines A, B, C showed anti-ulcer effect on HCl/ethanol-induced lesions in rats, and saussureamine A also exhibited an inhibitory activity on stress-induced ulcer formation in mice. During the course of these studies, facile conversion from sesquiterpene having an α-methylene γ-lactone function to amino acid-sesquiterpene adduct has been accomplished by means of Michael type addition reaction.

From the methanolic extract of the dried roots of Saussurea lappa Clarke, Saussureae Radix, five amino acid-sesquiterpene conjugates, saussureamines A, B, C, D and E, were isolated together with a lignan glycoside, (-)-massoniresinol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside. Their stereostructures were determined on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. In addition, saussureamines and the related amino acid-sesquiterpene conjugates were synthesized using a Michael type addition reaction of amino acid to the α-methylene-γ-lactone moiety of sesquiterpenes. Saussureamines A, B and C, costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone showed a gastroprotective effect on acidified ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions in rats. Saussureamines A also exhibited an inhibitory effect on gastric mucosal lesions induced by water-immersion stress in mice. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
