摘要：
2-Mercaptoethanol reacts selectively with the 5 beta,6 beta-epoxy steroids isolated from Withania somnifera substituting the epoxide by a six-membered oxyethylene-2'-thio ring whereas it failed to show such reactivity on 6 alpha,7 alpha-epoxy withasteroids. The structure of the product has been elucidated by spectroscopic methods, especially applying extensive 2D NMR methods. The anticancer activity of withaferin A was lost in the reaction product indicating that its activity is also linked to the free 5 beta,6 beta-epoxide functional group. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
