Abstract
Two previously undescribed stemofoline alkaloids, 11(E)-oxystemofoline (1) and 11(E)-17-hydroxystemofoline (2), and three known compounds, 11(E)-2′(S)-hydroxystemofoline (3), stemofoline (4), and isostemofoline (5), were isolated from the roots of Stemona parviflora. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 2 has unprecedented hydroxylation at C-17 of the stemofoline alkaloid skeleton. The inhibitory effects of all isolates on LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells were evaluated. Although only 4 was active, the results showed that the Z configuration of the Δ11 double bond was potentially beneficial for the anti-inflammatory effect of stemofoline alkaloids.
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.
