轮叶木姜子Litsea verticillata Hance是最早发现具抗HIV活性的植物。作者曾从该植物叶和枝中分得一组新的、结构独特的活性倍半萜,拟名为litseanes。现又从该植物叶和枝具抗HIV活性的提取部位分离并鉴定了7个新的倍半萜,litseagermacran(1)、7-表桉叶-4(15)-烯-1α,6α-二醇(2)、5-表桉叶- Litsea verticillata Hance is the earliest plant found to have anti-HIV activity. The authors have previously allocated a new set of uniquely active sesquiterpenes from the leaves and branches of the plant, which are intended to be litseanes. Seven new sesquiterpenoids, litseagermacran(1), 7-epiphylline-4(15)-ene-1α,6α-diol, have been isolated and identified from the extracts of the plant leaves and branches with anti-HIV activity.
