Abstract: Apure wilforlide Awas separated from the ethanolic extract of tripterygium wilfordii Hook. F. root. The compound was characterized by IR, 1HNMRand microanalysis. Its crystal structure was also determined by X-ray crystallography. The title compound is formulated as C30 H46 O3 with formulae weight Mr=454.70. Its crystal belongs to orthorhombic system with P212121 space group. The crystal cell parameters are a=0.732(4) nm, b=1.283(7) nm, c=2.693(6) nm; V=2.5327 nm3, Z=4, Dc=1.192 g·cm-3, μ (Mo Kα )=0.695 cm-1, F (000)=1107. The final R=0.039, RW=0.044. The title compound is a five membered ring terpene, whole skeleton of molecule stretches folded. The results of AM1 calculation shows that the molecule is polar and reactive to the nucleophilic and redox reactions.
