Purification of a CHCl3-soluble extract from seeds of the Mexican medicinal arborescent morning glory, Ipomoeaintrapilosa, by means of preparative-scale recycling HPLC, yielded seven new resin glycosides, intrapilosins I-VII(1-7). Their structures were established through the interpretation of their NMR spectroscopic and FABMS data. Allpentasaccharides were found to be macrolactones of the known operculinic acid A with different fatty acids esterifyingthe same positions: C-2 on the second rhamnose unit and C-3 and C-4 on the third rhamnose moiety. The lactonizationsite of the aglycon could be placed at C-2 of the second saccharide. The fatty acid components of 1-7 were identifiedas (+)-(2S)-methylbutanoic, octanoic (caprylic), dodecanoic (lauric), and trans-cinnamic. The less common (-)-(2R)-methylbutanoic acid was also isolated as one of the saponification-liberated residues from intrapilosin IV (4). Thepresence of the (2R)- and (2S)-methylbutanoyl enantiomers bonded to the same oligosaccharide core in intrapilosins IV(4) and V (5) represents an example of diastereoisomerism due to a chiral esterifying moiety in the resin glycosidemixtures of a morning glory species.
