Abstract
Six undescribed macrocyclic compounds, including diarylhexanoids (1 and 2), a diarylhexanoid glucoside (3), diarylheptanoids (4 and 5), and an aceroside (6), were isolated from the roots of Myrica nana Cheval., along with 11 known analogues (7-17). The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, as well as by calculated optical rotatory dispersion and derivatization reactions. Metabolites 1-3, with a rare macrocyclic diarylhexane skeleton, differ from the familiar macrocyclic diarylheptanoids. The spasmolytic activity of the isolated compounds was evaluated on acetylcholine-induced contraction of isolated rat ileum. All isolated compounds exhibited significant spasmolytic activities with an EC50 ranging from 1.4 to 5.1 μM. The spasmolytic mechanism of action of compound 1 could be related to the NO production, blockade of muscarinic receptors, K+ efflux, and cytosolic calcium reduction.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
