Abstract
A further chemical investigation of the butanol extract of leaves from the South African medicinal plant Sutherlandia frutescens led to the isolation of eight previously unreported saponins (1−8), together with the known sutherlandiosides A−D. Their structures were established by spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR) analyses, CD, optical rotation, mass spectrometry, as well as chemical conversions. The isolates were screened for their cytotoxic activity against the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, although no significant activity was observed. In addition to the chemophenetic markers for this genus, i.e. the cycloartane glycosides, the present work also reports on the first isolation of an oleanan-type saponin from the Sutherlandia genus, forming an important fingerprint for the chemical composition of the plant.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry Letters invites rapid communications on all aspects of natural product research including:
• Structural elucidation of natural products
• Analytical evaluation of herbal medicines
• Clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines
• Natural product biosynthesis
• Natural product synthesis and chemical modification
• Natural product metabolism
• Chemical ecology
• Biotechnology
• Bioassay-guided isolation
• Pharmacognosy
• Pharmacology of natural products
• Metabolomics
• Ethnobotany and traditional usage
• Genetics of natural products
Manuscripts that detail the isolation of just one new compound are not substantial enough to be sent out of review and are out of scope. Furthermore, where pharmacology has been performed on one new compound to increase the amount of novel data, the pharmacology must be substantial and/or related to the medicinal use of the producing organism.
