Abstract
An activity-guided isolation study on the EtOH extract prepared from the bulbs of Prospero autumnale yielded four new phenolic compounds, including a new stilbenoid (1), a new homoisoflavonoid derivative (8), a new homoisoflavonoid dimer (9), and an unprecedented homoisoflavone-stilbene heterodimer (10), together with six known (2-7) analogs. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and theoretical NMR and ECD calculations. Compounds 9 and 10 are unique in their scaffolds. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of purified compounds was evaluated against eight tumor cell lines (HCT116, LoVo, DU145, PC3, HEP3B, HEPG2, MCF7, and MDA-MB-231) and one nontumor cell line (L929) by the MTS assay. Compounds 1, 2, 4, and 10 exhibited inhibition with IC50 values ranging from 8.2 to 37.6 μM. Cytotoxic cell death mechanisms were further investigated, indicating variability in apoptosis, necrosis, or cell cycle arrest.
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.
