ABSTRACT
To study chemical constituents contained in Tetraena mongolica. Chemical constituents were separated and purified by using such methods as silica gel, Toyopearl HW-40C and HPLC preparative chromatography. Their structures were identified by organic spectral method. One new compound was separated from T. mongolica and identified olean-11-oxo-12-en-28-ol-3beta-yl-caffeate.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the immunosuppressive constituents from Tetraena mongolica.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Chemical constituents were isolated and purified by repeated column chromatography( silica gel, Toyopearl HW40C and preparative HPLC). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data analysis. The MTT assay was applied to evaluate the isolated compounds on the inhibition effect of lymphocyte transformation.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Six triterpenes were isolated and their structures were identified as follows: 3beta-hydroxy-11alpha, 12alpha:13beta,28-diepoxyoleanane(1), 3beta-(3, 4-dihydroxycinnamoyl)-erythrodi-ol(2), olean-28-al-3beta-yl-caffeate(3), erythrodiol (4), 12-oleanaen-3beta-caffeate(5), 3-O-(E) -coumaroylerythrodiol(6). Compound 24 exhibited the inhibition effects on lymphocyte transformation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds 1-6 were isolated from this plant for the first time, and compound 1 was a new nature product. Compound 2-4 showed significant immunosuppressive activity.</p>
