Comparison of the 1H and 13C chemical shift data of bryonolic acid (D:C-friedoolean-8-en-3β-ol-29-oic acid) and its derivatives (13 species) revealed that the conformational features of these compounds in CDCl3 solution depend on whether the functional groups at C-29 are trigonal, such as COOCH3, or tetrahedral, such as CH2OH.In order to study the conformational features of these two groups of compounds, vicinal coupling constants between the protons on the E rings of the methyl ester of D:C-friedoolean-8-en-29-oic acid, D:C-fridoolean-8-en-29-ol and its acetate were measured.Comparison of the results with the steric geometries to be expected from the molecular mechanics calculation for the E-ring moieties of these derivatives in the S form (D-E rings: boat-boat form) and the F form (D-E rings: chair-chair form) led to the conclusion that the compounds having a trigonal functional group at C-29 mainly adopt the S form, and those having a tetrahedral functional group at C-29 are present as mixtures of the S and F form in equilibrium in the solutions.KEY WORDS - Conformation D:C-friedoolean-8-enes Molecular mechanics calculation 1H and 13C NMR

Five triterpenes with a D:C-friedo-oleanane skeleton, D:C-friedo-oleana- 7,9(11)-diene-3β,29-diol (3-epikarounidiol), 7-oxo-D:C-friedo-olean-8-en- 3β-ol (7-oxoisomultiflorenol), 7-oxo-8β-D:C-friedo-olean-9(11)-ene-3α,29- diol, D:C-friedo-olean-8-ene-3α,29-diol (3-epibryonolol), and D:C-friedo- olean-8-ene-3β,29-diol (bryonolol), the first four of which are new naturally occurring compounds, were isolated from the seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii MAXIM. The structures were determined by spectral and chemical methods. 3-Epikarounidiol, 7-oxoisomultiflorenol, and 3-epibryonolol showed marked inhibitory activity against 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced ear inflammation in mice. The 50% inhibitory dose of these triterpenes for TPA-induced inflammation (1 μg) was 0.2-0.6 mg/ear.

The structure of 7-oxodihydrokarounidiol [7-oxo-D:C-friedo-olean-8-ene-3α,29-diol], isolated from the seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii (Cucurbitaceae), was determined by chemical correlation with karounidiol [D:C-friedo-oleana-7,9(11)-diene-3α,29-diol] from the same source. Two other natural products, viz. bryonolic acid (3β-hydroxy-D:C-friedo-olean-8-en-29-oic acid) and bryononic acid (3-oxo-D:C-friedo-olean-8-en-29-oic acid), were also correlated with karounidiol.
