    查看更多>>摘要:? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Seventeen triterpenoids including four new lanostane triterpenoids (1–3 and 5) were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum by various chromatographic techniques. Their chemical structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data, including 1D-NMR, 2D-NMR, and HRESIMS. In addition, the spectral data of compound 4 was reported for the first time. In an in vitro bioassay, most isolated triterpenoids could inhibit the hydrolysis activity of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). Furthermore, there is no cytotoxicity observed for these isolated triterpenoids. Therefore, G. lucidum showed the potential application for anti-neuroinflammation and more FAAH inhibitors may be explored from G. lucidum.

Their structures were unambiguously elucidated based on HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra. The absolute configuration of 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone dimers was determined by comparison of the experimental and computed ECD spectra. Compound 6 displayed cytotoxicity against the human myeloid leukemia cell line (K562) with an IC50 value of 39.49 μM.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2022Three new oxygenated cyclohexene derivatives, pandensenol D - F (1–3), two new flavanoids, pandensone A and B (4–5), and seven known compounds (6–12) were isolated from the methanol extract of the leaves of Uvaria pandensis Verdc. (Annonaceae). The structures were characterized by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses. The isolated metabolites were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis, the Gram-negative bacteria Enterococcus raffinosus, Escherichia coli, Paraburkholderia caledonica, Pectobacterium carotovorum and Pseudomonas putida, and for cytotoxicity against the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. Out of the tested compounds, pandensenol D (1) and (6′,7′-dihydro-8'α,9'β-dihydroxy)-3-farnesylindole (12) showed weak activity, whereas (8'α,9'β-dihydroxy)-3-farnesylindole (11) strong activity against B. subtilis. Four of the isolated compounds (1, 4, 11 and 12) showed moderate cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells (EC50 > 100 μM).

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Five new cholestane glycosides, named parisfargosides A–E (1–5), were isolated from the rhizomes of Paris fargesii. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of UV, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR data as well as chemical methods. The structures of all compounds contained α, β-unsaturated ketone unit. Compounds 3–5 possessed a 16,23-cyclocholest skeleton with 6/6/6/5/5 condensed ring, and the absolute configurations of C-16 and C-23 were confirmed according to ROESY spectra with pyridine?d5 and DMSO?d6 as solvents. In addition, the platelet aggregation activity and cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines (HL-60, A549, SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231, and SW480) of compounds 1–5 were evaluated.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Three new sesquiterpene phenol dimers, bidysoxyphenols A–C (2–4), along with two known compounds, namely sesquiterpene phenol (1) and ionone derivatives (5), were isolated from the leaves of Dysoxylum parasiticum (Osbeck) Kosterm. The structures of these new compounds, including their absolute configurations, were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and electronic circular dichroism. Compounds 1 and 2 showed cytotoxicity against human promyelocytic leukemia cells, with IC50 values of 18.25 ± 1.52 and 39.04 ± 3.12 μM, respectively.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Three unprecedented 23-nor-3,4-seco-3-acetallupane triterpenoids, gracilistylacid A-C (1–3), along with three known lupanoids (4–6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Acanthopanax gracilistylus W.W. Smith var. gracilistylus. Compounds 1–3 may be biosynthetically formed via carboxylation, decarboxylation, cycloreversion, and aldolization reactions based on impressic acid (4). The structures of all compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques and X-ray craystallographyic studies. Compounds 3 and 4 exerted anti-osteosarcoma effects through an inhibition of cell migration and vasculogenic mimicry (VM) formation in 143B cells in vitro.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Centella asiatica is a popular medicinal plant and several phytotherapic products in the market include its extracts as active constituents. A LC-MS guided phytochemical investigation on the commercial C. asiatica leaves extract named Centevita? allowed characterization and quantification of 24 secondary metabolites including 10 polyphenols and 14 ursane- or oleanane-type triterpenoids in the sapogenin or saponin form. This metabolomic analysis, besides confirming that the triterpenoid fraction roughly accounts for 45% of the extract weight, also resulted in the discovery of isoterminoloside, a new triglycoside saponin of the unprecedented 2α,3β,6β,23-tetrahydroxyolean-13(18)-en-28-oic acid (isoterminolic acid). The structure of isoterminoloside was characterized by a detailed ESI-MS and NMR investigation.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2022Sixteen guaiane-type sesquiterpenoids were isolated from Stellera chamaejasme L. Among them, chamaejasnoids A-F (1–5) are new compounds. 1 represents the first example of 2,3-seco-guaiane sesquiterpenoid with a 5/6/7 bridged ring system. 2 is a unique 2-nor-guaiane sesquiterpenoid. A plausible biosynthetic pathway for 1 was proposed, involving a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and a non-enzymatic intramolecular transesterification. 5 exhibited a selective cytotoxicity against HCT8 cell line with an IC50 of 11.82 ± 2.89 μM.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2022Seven new acylated C-glycosylflavones, oreocharioside A-G, together with two known compounds were isolated from the whole plant of Oreocharis auricula. Their structures were characterized by the comprehensive analysis of their NMR, IR, UV, CD spectra and HRESIMS data. All the new compounds were evaluated for the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The results showed that compounds 1 and 2 had significant DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, with the IC50 values of 0.32–3.20 μg/mL. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited the higher potency among all the new compounds in reducing TNF-α production.

    查看更多>>摘要:? 2021Five new α-pyrones, cryptowratones A-E (1–5), and five known congeners (6–10), together with four other known compounds 11–14 were isolated from the twigs of Cryptocarya wrayi. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analysis and ECD calculations. All α-pyrones except 6 were evaluated for their stimulatory effects on glucose uptake in vitro with CHO-K1/GLUT4 cells. The positive control insulin displayed an approximate 42 ± 0.14% promotion on glucose uptake at 25 μM, compared with the CHO-K1/GLUT4 group. Compounds 1a/2a, 2, 3, and 10 showed a more significant stimulation of glucose uptake than insulin (25 μM) by 36 ± 0.08%, 27 ± 0.12%, 28 ± 0.12%, and 25 ± 0.12% at 1.5 μM, respectively. Immunofluorescence assays indicated the glucose uptake-stimulatory activity of α-pyrones might be correlated with increased GLUT4 translocation.
