Abstract
Salaspermic acid, an inhibitor of HIV reverse transcriptase and HIV replication in H9 lymphocyte cells, was isolated from the roots of Tripterygium wilfordii for the first time. The structure of 1 derived from spectral data was established unequivocally by an X-ray analysis of crystals of the monohydrate. A structure-activity correlation of 1 with ten related compounds indicated that the acetal linkage in ring A and the carboxyl group in ring E of 1 may be required for the anti-HIV activity.
