Introduction

Bufadienolides represent a type of steroids with A/B cis and C/D cis structures and a β-2-pyrone ring at the 17-position.These compounds possess potent cardiotonic，blood pressure-stimulating，antiviral，and local anesthetic activities.More than 300 bufadienolides have been isolated from natural sources including plants and animals，which have been reported to have significant antitumor activities［1］.Chinese traditional drug Chansu is usually used as a cardiac and it composed mostly by over thirty bufadienolides such as resibufogenin，cinobufagin，and bufalin.In this paper，a bufadienolide named 14β-artebufogenin(1)was isolated from Chansu(Venenum Bufonis).The present study reports the isolation and characterization of it and the spectral data of compound 1 were reported for the first time.

Materials and Methods

General experimental procedures

Melting point was measured with a Yanako MS-S3 (Yanaco Co.Ltd，Kyoto，Japan)micro melting point apparatus and was uncorrected.UV spectrum was measured on a Shimadzu UV-1601.IR spectrum was measured on a Bruker IFS 55 spectrometer.All the NMR spectra were taken on a Bruker-ARX-600 spectrometer(1H at 600 MHz and13C at 150 MHz).Column chromatography was performed on silica gel G (200-300 mesh，Qingdao Haiyang Chemical Factory) and C-18 preparative HPLC(Shimadzu).

Materials

Chansu was obtained in Anguo Folk-Medicinal Market，Hebei province，China，in March of 2005，and identified as dried secretion of Bufo bufo gargarizans Cantor by Prof.SUN Qi-shi.

Extraction and isolation

Chansu(500 g)was ground into a rough powder and extracted with chloroform in a Soxhlet's apparatus.The extract was concentrated under reduced pressure，and the residue(150 g)was subjected to silica gel column chromatography，eluting with petroleum ether-acetone (increasing acetone 0-100%).Fifteen fractions(fractions I-XV)were obtained and fraction IV(petroleum ether-acetone 100∶15，100 mg)was rechromatographed on preparative HPLC.Compound 1(5 mg)was obtained(methanol-water 63∶27).

Results and Discussion

Compound 1 was obtained as colorless crystal (CH3OH)，and positive to Liberman-Burchard reaction，which indicated 1 to be a steroid.The positive ESIMS showed a pseudo molecular ion at m/z 407［M+ Na］+and the molecular formula was established as C24H32O4by HRFABMS at m/z 385.2322［M+H］+combined with1H and13C NMR data.The UV and IR absorption spectra suggested the presence of 2-pyrone ring(296 nm and 1635 cm-1)and ketone group(1712 cm-1)［2］.In the1H NMR spectrum，H-21，H-22，and H-23 signals(at δ7.57，7.68 and 6.28，respectively) were characteristic of the 2-pyrone ring of bufadienolide［2］.All the information above showed that Compound 1 was a bufadienolide.In the HMBC spectrum，the correlations between the proton signal at δ2.69 and 120.9(C-20)，δ149.8(C-21)，and δ146.5(C-22) indicated that the proton at δ2.69 was assigned to H-17.The methyl proton signal at δ0.79 was assigned to H-18 according to its HMBC correlations with C-17 (δ42.6)，C-12(δ40.1)，C-13(δ42.2)，and C-14 (δ55.8).Therefore，the other methyl proton signal at δ0.81 was assigned to H-19.In the HMBC spectrum the correlation between H-14(δ2.13)，H-16(δ2.79，2.24)，and C-15(δ217.8)indicated that C-15 was a carbonyl carbon.

Fig.1 The structure of compound 1

The relative stereochemistry of Compound 1 was determined by the analysis of NOESY spectrum(Fig.2).The NOESY correlation of H-18/H-8，H-8/H-14，and H-18/H-14 indicated that H-14 was β-oriented.So the structure of Compound 1 was determined as 14β-artebufogenin，which probably derivatized from resibufogenin by the solvent chloroform in an acid environment.Compound 1 was first reported in 1959 by Linde Horst［3］but the author did not give any experimental data.In this paper，the spectral data of Compound 1 were reported for the first time.
