Abstract
A cycloheptane bearing an amino and three hydroxyl groups was isolated from the roots of Physalis alkekengi var. francheti, along with calystegins A3, A5, B1, B2, and B3. By 1H- and 1C-NMR spectra, combined with extensive decoupling experiments. 1H-13C COSY, and NOE enhancements, the structure of this cycloheptane was determined to be 1β-amino-2α,3β,5β- trihydroxycycloheptane. This compound may be a precursor of calystegin A5 in the biosynthetic pathway or may occur from the enzymic reduction of the 5- aminocycloheptanone derived from the 1,5-bridge scission in calystegin A5.
