ABSTRACT
Using column chromatographic and preparative HPLC technologies, we isolated a new sesquiterpene glycoside from the stem of Dendrobium nobile. With spectroscopic techniques including NMR and MS, the new compound was identified as cadalene-12-O-β-D-glucopyranoside. This type of compound was dehydrogenated from cadinane sesquiterpene to achieve a naphthalene ring, and it is rare from a natural resource.
ABSTRACT
The chemical constituents of Litsea coreana were investigated using chromatographic methods, including column chromatography on silica gel, MCI, and semi-preparation HPLC. Two compounds were isolated and identified as hawktealignan A (1) and cinnamophilin (2) by NMR analyses as well as their physical and chemical properties. Compound 1 is a new lignan and compound 2 was isolated from this plant for the first time.
ABSTRACT
To study the chemical constituents of the fruits of Fructus carotae, silica gel column chromatography and preparative HPLC were used to isolate and purify the extract of Fructus carotae. The structures of obtained compounds were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical property and spectral data. Nine guaiane-type sesquiterpenes were isolated and identified as 8β-angeloyloxy-11-hydroxy-4-guaien-3-one(1), 11-acetoxy-4-guaien-3-one(2), 11-acetoxy-8β-isobutyryl-4-guaien-3-one(3), 11-acetoxy-8β-propionyl-4-guaien-3-one(4), 11-hydroxy-4-guaien-3-one(5), 11-acetoxy-8β-angeloyloxy-1β-hydroxy-4-guaien-3-one(6), 11-acetoxy-8β-angeloyloxy-4-guaien-3-one(7), 11-acetoxy-8β-hydroxy-4-guaien-3-one(8)and 8β,11-dihydroxy-4-guaien-3-one(9). Compound 1 is a new compound, compound 5 is a new natural product, and compounds 2-4 were isolated from this genus for the first time.
ABSTRACT
In this study, seven bibenzyl compounds were isolated from the stem of Dendrobium nobile by silica gel, MCI column chromatographic and preparative HPLC technology. By using spectroscopic techniques including NMR and MS, these compounds were identified as 4, α-dihydroxy-3, 5, 3'-trimethoxybibenzyl (1), 4, 5-dihydroxy-3, 3', α-trimethoxybibenzyl (2), 4, 4'-dihydroxy-3, 5, 3'-trimethoxybibenzyl (3), 4, 5-dihydroxy-3, 3'-dimethoxybibenzyl (4), 4, 3'-dihydroxy-3, 5-dimethoxybibenzyl (5), 5, 4'-dihydroxy-3, 3'-dimethoxybibenzyl (6) and 5, 3'-dihydroxy-3-methoxybibenzyl (7). Compound 1 is a new compound and compound 4 was isolated from this plant for the first time.
ABSTRACT
According to the super-position principle of the reinforcement of biological activities, a series of novel E-substituted 2, 3-diaryl propenoic acyloxy phosphonate derivatives were designed and synthesized. And the structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the cytotoxicities of all compounds on A-549, SGC-7901 and EC-109 in vitro were evaluated by MTT assay, and some of them showed good antitumor activity. Among the active compounds, especially, the IC50 value of compound 3e was (12.7 ± 1.9) μmol x L(-1) against A-549 cells, similar to cisplatin [IC50 = (8.0 ± 1.5) μmol x L(-1)], compounds 3g and 3k had better inhibition effect on EC-109 cells growth, with the IC50 values of (9.5 ± 1.8) μmol x L(-1) and (11.5 ± 0.9) μmol x L(-1) respectively, and compounds 3i and 3k exhibited good cytotoxic property on A-549, SGC-7901 and EC-109, which were worth further investigation.
