Abstract
Three unreported 2-(2-phenethyl)chromone dimers, malaccenones A–C (1–3), were isolated and identified from the agarwood Aquilaria malaccensis. These compounds were purified by various column chromatographic techniques, and their structures were elucidated based on the analysis of UV, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, and ECD spectroscopic data, as well as comparison with literature data. Compounds 1–3 were evaluated for their inhibition effects on nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. All of these compounds exhibited anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 values ranging from 21.79 ± 1.05–31.44 ± 1.65 μM.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry Letters invites rapid communications on all aspects of natural product research including:
• Structural elucidation of natural products
• Analytical evaluation of herbal medicines
• Clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines
• Natural product biosynthesis
• Natural product synthesis and chemical modification
• Natural product metabolism
• Chemical ecology
• Biotechnology
• Bioassay-guided isolation
• Pharmacognosy
• Pharmacology of natural products
• Metabolomics
• Ethnobotany and traditional usage
• Genetics of natural products
Manuscripts that detail the isolation of just one new compound are not substantial enough to be sent out of review and are out of scope. Furthermore, where pharmacology has been performed on one new compound to increase the amount of novel data, the pharmacology must be substantial and/or related to the medicinal use of the producing organism.
