Abstract
The phytochemical investigation on the EtOH extract of the stems of an ethnological herbal medicine Erythropalum scandens Blume led to the isolation thirteen secondary metabolites. The chemical structures of isolated compounds were elucidated by various spectroscopic techniques. Among them, compound 1, named scandenoside A (1), is a previously unreported aromatic glycoside. Compounds (3-7,9-10,12) were isolated from this plant for the first time. The inhibitory activity of the isolates against xanthine oxidase (XOD) was evaluated, with compound 11 exhibiting strong inhibitory activity and a half inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 706.35 ± 18.36 µM. Molecular docking analyses revealed that the compound could bind within the active pocket of the XOD enzyme through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. These results suggest that the stems of E. scandens may have a potentially beneficial effect on hyperuricemia.
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.
