Abstract
Chamelauciumols A-I (1-9), nine undescribed dimeric acylphloroglucinol derivatives, were isolated from the aerial parts of Chamelaucium uncinatum. Structurally, compound 1 featured a new carbon skeleton characterized by an unprecedented prenyl-substituted methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocin core. Compounds 2 and 3 represented new dimeric scaffolds, consisting of two methylated acylphloroglucinol derivatives linked via prenyl units. Compounds 4-9 were new phloroglucinol dimers with various linkage patterns. The structures and absolute configurations of these compounds were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and electronic circular dichroism calculation. Besides, the antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains of the isolates were evaluated. Compounds 3 and 4 exhibited potent inhibitory effects against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 0.5 to 1 μg/mL. A preliminary study on the mechanism of action revealed that compounds 3 and 4 exerted anti-MRSA effects through disrupting bacterial cell membrane integrity. Additionally, compounds 3 and 4 also demonstrated remarkable antibiofilm activities.
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.
