Abstract
Illihenrolides A (1) and B (2), and illihenrin A (3), three highly oxygenated sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the fruits of Illicium henryi Diels, together with eight known analogs. The structures of 1–3 were elucidated using HRESIMS data and extensive 1H, 13C, and 2D NMR (1H1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and ROESY) analyses. In addition, the absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction experiment and electronic circular dichroism calculations. Structurally, compounds 1 and 2 were determined as seco-prezizaane-type sesquiterpenoids, while 3 was identified to be allo-cedrane-type sesquiterpenoid. Furthermore, neurotrophic and neuroprotective activities of 1–11 were evaluated. As a result, compounds 5, 10, and 11 had significant promoting effect on NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cell at the concentration of 10 μM with the differentiation rate of 13.64, 10.53, and 11.67 %, respectively. Compound 9 showed moderate neuroprotective activity against MPP+-induced PC12 cell damage with PC12 cell viability of 72.36 ± 1.70 % at the concentration of 20 μM, compared to the model group with 66.80 ± 0.65 %.
