Three new pregnane alkaloids, named terminamines H-J (1-3), together with two known alkaloids (4 and 5), were isolated from the ethanol extract of Pachysandra terminalis. The structures of isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including (1)H and (13)C NMR, 2D NMR, and
Two new, bioactive, pregnane-based natural products, pachysanonin (= 3beta,11alpha,12beta)-12-acetoxy-3-(dimethylamino)-11-[(3,4-dimethylpent-3-enoyl)oxy]pregnan-20-one; 1) and pachysanone (= (11alpha,12beta)-12-acetoxy-11-[(3,4-dimethylpent-3-enoyl)oxy]pregnan-3,20-dion; 2) have been isolated from
