Abstract
A phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Parasenecio rubescens (S. Moore) Y. L. Chen yielded 14 previously undescribed, highly oxidized bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids, named pararunines L–Y, along with one known oplopane-type sesquiterpenoid. The structural elucidation of these compounds was accomplished through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) techniques. Motivated by traditional uses and previous studies on this genus, all isolated compounds were subjected to in vitro cytotoxicity assays against four human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, Hela, HCT116, and HT-29). Considering that the reported chemical constituents of numerous other species within this genus primarily consist of eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids, our findings not only expand the structural diversity of bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids but also contribute valuable scientific evidence to the chemotaxonomy of this genus.
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines (CJNM), founded and sponsored in May 2003 by China Pharmaceutical University and the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, is devoted to communication among pharmaceutical and medical scientists interested in the advancement of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM). CJNM publishes articles relating to a broad spectrum of bioactive natural products, leading compounds and medicines derived from Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM).
Topics covered by the journal are: Resources of Traditional Chinese Medicines; Interaction and complexity of prescription; Natural Products Chemistry (including structure modification, semi-and total synthesis, bio-transformation); Pharmacology of natural products and prescription (including pharmacokinetics and toxicology); Pharmaceutics and Analytical Methods of natural products.
