Six new iridal-type triterpenoids containing an unprecedented cyclopentane ring, polycycloiridals E–J (1–6), were isolated from a large-scale re-extraction of Iris tectorum. A possible biosynthesis pathway is postulated. The known spirioiridotectal D (7) was also obtained in the current investigation, and its structure was unequivocally defined using X-ray diffraction data. Compound 7 suppressed LPS-activated NO production in the BV2 cell line with an IC50 value of 0.54 μM.
