Dunawithanines A and B,the first withanolide glycosides from Dunalia australis

Withanolide D, 7β-acetoxy-withanolide D and two new withanolide glycosides, named dunawithanines A and B, were isolated from Dunalia australis. From physical data and chemical transformations, the structures of the new compounds were determined as (20R,22R-O(3)-2′,3′-di-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-3β,20-dihydroxy-1α-acetoxy-witha-5,24-dienolide and the corresponding O(3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1′ → x)-β-D- glucopyranosyl] compound, representing the first withanolide glycosides found in the plant kingdom.
