The Isolation and Identification of Phytoecdysones from Dacrydium pierrei Hickel

Three crystals were isolated from the bark of Dacrydium pierrei Hickel and were identified by melting point spectral data (UV, IR, MS, NMR) and GC. Hplc. Crystal Ⅰ is β-ecdysone, Crystal Ⅱ is a jugasterone C. Crystal Ⅲ consists of ponasterone A (ⅢA) and a new phytoecdysone named dacryhainansterone (ⅢB). Total yield of three crystals is 0.4%.
