RESUMEN
Two new trichilin-type limonoids were isolated from the fruits of Trichilia connaroides along with two known limonoids, 3α-deacetylamoorastatin (3) and mesendanins K (4). Their planar structure and relative configuration were elucidated by comprehensive analyses of HR-ESI-MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HSQC, HMBC and ROESY data. An antitumor activity assay showed that compounds 1, 2 and known compound 4 had weak cytotoxicity against a human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa).
RESUMEN
Six new trichilin-type limonoids (1-6) with C-19/29 lactol or acetal bridge and a new ring intact limonoid (7) were isolated from the desiccative ripe fruits of Trichilia sinensis. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic methods including H NMR, C NMR, HSQC, HMBC, ROESY experiments as well as HRESI-MS data. All isolated compounds were evaluated for toxicities against human pulmonary carcinoma A549 and Hela cell lines by sulforhodamine B (SRB) method. Compound 7 showed weak inhibitory activity in Hela cell line at 40 μmol·L.
