Popis: The novel triterpene 1 with a dammarane skeleton and a hitherto unknown 17ct-substitution pattern has been isolated from the Palmyrah palm in low yield and prepared by synthesis in larger quantities. 1 was shown to be an extremely potent immunosuppressant in vitro (MLR; IC5c~=10 ng/ml) and in vivo (DTH; ED~0=0.01 mg/kg p.o.). A glucocorticoid like activity is excluded. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
