ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the leaves and twigs of Callicarpa cathayana. Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel, MCI gel CHP 20P/P120, Sephadex LH-20, and HPLC. The structures of the compounds were determined by HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR data. Results: A total of 24 compounds were isolated from the 85% methanol extract of leaves and twigs of C. cathayana. They were identified as cathayanalactone G (1), a new diterpene, and 23 known compounds as patagonic acid (2), (-)-16-hydroxycledroda-3,13-dien-16,15-olide-18-oic acid (3), 15-methoxypatagonic acid (4), oleanolic acid (5), ursolic acid (6), siaresinolic acid (7), pomolic acid (8), α-amyrin (9), tormentic acid (10), lupeol (11), 5,7-dihydroxy-3,4′-dimethoxyflavone (12), 5,4′-dihydroxy-3,7,3′-dimethoxyfla-vone (13), 5-hydroxy-3,6,7,4′- tetramethoxyflavone (14), salvigenin (15), kaemferol (16), astragalin (17), pinoresinol 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (18), paulownin (19), β-sitosterol (20), β-sitosterol β-D-glucopyranoside (21), 5-hydroxy-coumarin (22), isocopoletin (23), and 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (24). Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new labdane diterpene. Compounds 10, 13, 16 and 17 are isolated from the genus Callicarpa for the first time. Compounds 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 23 and 24 are reported from C. cathayana for the first time.
ABSTRACT
A series of 2-(((5-akly/aryl-1-pyrazol-3-yl)methyl)thio)-5-alkyl-6-(cyclohexylmethyl)-pyrimidin-4(3)-ones were synthesized and their anti-HIV-1 activities were evaluated. Most of these compounds were highly active against wild-type (WT) HIV-1 strain (IIIB) with EC values in the range of 0.0038-0.4759 μmol/L. Among those compounds, had an EC value of 3.8 nmol/L and SI (selectivity index) of up to 25,468 indicating excellent activity against WT HIV-1. anti-HIV-1 activity and resistance profile studies suggested that compounds and displayed potential anti-HIV-1 activity against laboratory adapted strains and primary isolated strains including different subtypes and tropism strains (ECs range from 4.3 to 63.6 nmol/L and 18.9-219.3 nmol/L, respectively). On the other hand, it was observed that those two compounds were less effective with EC values of 2.77 and 4.87 μmol/L for HIV-1A (K103N + Y181C). The activity against reverse transcriptase (RT) was also evaluated for those compounds. Both and obtained sub-micromolar IC values showing their potential in RT inhibition. The pharmacokinetics examination in rats indicated that compound has acceptable pharmacokinetic properties and bioavailability. Preliminary structure-activity relationships and molecular modeling studies were also discussed.
