A polyprenyl composition consisting essentially of a mixture of polyprenyl compounds represented by the following formula ##STR1## wherein A.sub.1 represents a hydroxyl or acetyloxy group, ##STR2## represents a trans-isoprene unit, ##STR3## represents a cis-isoprene unit, and n is an integer of from 11 to 19, said mixture containing substantial amounts of at least three compounds of formula (I) wherein n represents 14, 15 and 16 respectively as essential ingredients in a total amount of at least 70% by weight based on the weight of the mixture; and new compounds derived from the polyprenyl compounds of formula (I). These composition and compounds are useful for the synthesis of mammalian dolichols. The polyprenyl composition can be prepared by extracting the leaves of Ginkgo biloba or Cedrus deodara with an oil-soluble organic solvent; if required, hydrolyzing the extract; and subjecting the extract to one or more of chromatography, fractional dissolution, fractional refrigerating precipitation and molecular distillation, thereby separating and recovering a fraction having a specified Rf value in silica thin-layer chromatography.
一种多萜化合物组成物,基本上由以下式子所代表的多萜化合物混合物组成:##STR1## 其中A.sub.1代表羟基或乙酰氧基,##STR2##代表反式异戊二烯基,##STR3##代表顺式异戊二烯基,n为11至19之间的整数,该混合物包含式(I)中n分别代表14、15和16的至少三种化合物,作为至少70%的重量百分比的必要成分,基于混合物的重量;以及由式(I)多萜化合物衍生的新化合物。这些组成物和化合物可用于合成哺乳动物的长链醇。多萜化合物组成物可以通过使用油溶性有机溶剂提取银杏或雪松的叶子来制备;必要时,水解提取物;并将提取物经过色谱、分级溶解、分级冷沉淀和分子蒸馏中的一个或多个步骤,从而分离和回收具有硅胶薄层色谱中指定Rf值的分数。
