Dry powders (5 kg) of the whole plant of Ainsliaea henryi were refluxed for 1 h with 95% ethanol (50L) three times. After removal of the ethanol under reduced pressure, the extract was suspended in water and then partitioned with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The chloroform soluble fraction (30 g) was subjected to silica gel
using (petroleum ether/acetone, 15:1 to 2:1, v/v). Gochnatiolide A was obtained from the fraction eluted by petroleum ether/acetone (5:1). Single crystals suitable for X-ray were obtained by slow evaporation from petroleum ether/acetone (1:1) after two weeks at room temperature.The hydroxyl H atoms attached at O2 was located in a difference Fourier map and isotropically refined using a riding model with O—H distance 0.82 Å. The remaining H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.98 Å. The Uĩso values were set equal to 1.5Ueq (C) for methyl H atoms and 1.5Ueq(C) for the remaining H atoms. Friedel pairs were merged before the final
as there is no significant As a consequence the of the compound is unknown.The stereochemistry of the title compound is known from the literature (Bohlmann et al. (1983)).Its structure was elucidated by highfield 1H-NMR spectroscopy. We have also confirmed its structure by 1H, 13C, 2DNMR spectroscopy.A number of restraints (128 in total) were required the ensure that the geometry (SADI and SAME in SHELXL-97) and displacement parameters (SIMU in SHELXL-97) retained chemically and physically reasonable values during the refinement.
Ainsliaea henryi Diels is mainly distributed in south-west of China. The whole plant of Ainsliaea henryi has been used in Chinese folk medicine to treat cough, asthma and lumbago (Editorial committee of Chinese Mateia Medica, 2007). The chemical constituents of this plant have not been reported previously. Our chemical investigation of this plant for bioactive components resulted in the isolation of the title compound (I), which was previously obtained from the South American species, Gochnatia paniculata (Bohlmann et al., 1983) and Gochnatia polymorpha (Bohlmann et al., 1986). This kind of dimeric sesquiterpene has exhibited a remarkable inhibitory activity against the production of nitric oxide in RAW264.7 (Mouse leukaemic monocyte macrophage cell line) stimulated by LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) (Wu et al., 2008).
The molecular struture of (I) is shown in Fig.1; bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges. Gochnatiolide A is a dimeric sequiterpene which was derived from two molecules of the compound dehydrozaluzanin C. The dehydrozaluzanin C molecule is composed of a seven-membered ring and two five-membered rings (A ring atoms C1—C5; B ring atoms C1—C10; C ring atoms C6/C7/C11/C12/O4). The connections between the two dehydrozaluzanin C molecules are the bonds C2—C24, and C10—C14—C35—C24. Ring A adopts an
ring B adopts a badly distorted chair conformation, while ring C exhibits an envelope conformation.For similar compounds and background information, see: Chinese Materia Medica (2007); Bohlmann & Zdero (1979); Bohlmann et al.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 >2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Ainsliaea henryi Diels is mainly distributed in south-west of China. The whole plant of Ainsliaea henryi has been used in Chinese folk medicine to treat cough, asthma and lumbago (Editorial committee of Chinese Mateia Medica, 2007). The chemical constituents of this plant have not been reported previously. Our chemical investigation of this plant for bioactive components resulted in the isolation of the title compound (I), which was previously obtained from the South American species, Gochnatia paniculata (Bohlmann et al., 1983) and Gochnatia polymorpha (Bohlmann et al., 1986). This kind of dimeric sesquiterpene has exhibited a remarkable inhibitory activity against the production of nitric oxide in RAW264.7 (Mouse leukaemic monocyte macrophage cell line) stimulated by LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) (Wu et al., 2008).
The molecular struture of (I) is shown in Fig.1; bond lengths and angles are within normal ranges. Gochnatiolide A is a dimeric sequiterpene which was derived from two molecules of the compound dehydrozaluzanin C. The dehydrozaluzanin C molecule is composed of a seven-membered ring and two five-membered rings (A ring atoms C1—C5; B ring atoms C1—C10; C ring atoms C6/C7/C11/C12/O4). The connections between the two dehydrozaluzanin C molecules are the bonds C2—C24, and C10—C14—C35—C24. Ring A adopts an envelope conformation, ring B adopts a badly distorted chair conformation, while ring C exhibits an envelope conformation.
