Abstract
Three compounds, including a novel quinolizidine alkaloid, ochrocephalamine G (1), were isolated from Oxytropis ochrocephala. Structural elucidation was achieved through spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism. Biological assays showed that ochrocephalamine G (100 μM) inhibited HBsAg and HBeAg by 8.28% and 16.17%, respectively. Computational studies, including molecular docking and dynamics simulations, revealed its binding mode with HBV core protein, providing a solid foundation for developing O. ochrocephala as an anti-HBV therapeutic agent.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
