A new ergostane derivative from the leaves of Heynea trijuga Roxburgh

During the course of searching for structurally interesting and bioactive compounds, a further chemical investigation of the leaves of Heynea trijuga Roxburgh was performed, which led to the isolation of a new ergostane derivative, named 3β, 4β, 20S-trihydroxyergosta-5, 24(28)-dien-16-one (1), together with five known sterides (3β, 23S)-ergosta-5, 24(28)-diene-3, 23-diol (2), ergosta-5, 24(28)-diene-3β-diol (3), stigmast-5-ene-3β, 7α-diol (4),...
