Abstract
Plant-derived natural products remain crucial in drug development. However, the identification of undescribed natural products is becoming increasingly challenging. A comprehensive strategy combining LC–MS with diagnostic ions was proposed for the discovery of undescribed 5-methylcoumarin meroterpenoids. Thirteen undescribed 5-methylcoumarin meroterpenoids, including five pairs of enantiomers (1a/1b and 5a/5b–8a/8b), were isolated from the whole plant of Gerbera piloselloides. Their structures and absolute configurations were unambiguously determined based on their spectroscopic data, calculated and experimental ECD data and X-ray diffraction analysis. Bioassays conducted on scopolamine-induced injury PC12 cells revealed that compounds 5a/5b, 7a/7b and 8a/8b possessed mild protective effects. Additionally, compounds 2 and 8 showed notable IL-6 inhibition in lipopolysaccharide-induced BEAS-2B cells.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry is a leading international journal publishing studies of plant chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, structure and bioactivities of phytochemicals, including ''-omics'' and bioinformatics/computational biology approaches. Phytochemistry is a primary source for papers dealing with phytochemicals, especially reports concerning their biosynthesis, regulation, and biological properties both in planta and as bioactive principles. Articles are published online as soon as possible as Articles-in-Press and in 12 volumes per year. Occasional topic-focussed special issues are published composed of papers from invited authors.
