A pair of coumarin-based polycyclic meroterpenoid enantiomers(+)/(-)-gerbeloid A[(+)-1a and(-)-1b]were isolated from the medicinal plant Gerbera piloselloides,which have a unique caged oxatricyclo[4.2.2.03,8]decene scaffold.Their planar and three-dimensional structures were exhaustively characterized by comprehensive spectroscopic data and X-ray diffraction analysis.Guided by the hypothetical biosynthetic pathway,the biomimetic synthesis of racemic 1 was achieved using 4-hydroxy-5-methylcoumarin and citral as the starting material via oxa-6π electrocyclization and intramolecular[2+2]photocycloaddition.Subsequently,the results of the biological activity assay demonstrated that both(+)-1a and(-)-1b exhibited potent lipid-lowering effects in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and the high-fat diet zebrafish model.Notably,the lipid-lowering activity of(+)-1a is better than that of(-)-1b at the same concentration,and molecular mechanism study has shown that(+)-1a and(-)-1b impairs adipocyte differentiation and stimulate lipolysis by regulating C/EBPα/PPARγ signaling and Perilipin signaling in vitro and in vivo.Our findings provide a promising drug model molecule for the treatment of obesity.
