Abstract
Three new diterpenes, named pinusins D-F (1-3), were isolated from the Chinese medicine "Pini Lignum Nodi" (the dried tuberculate or branched nodes of Pinus massoniana), along with twelve known diterpenes. The structures of these new compounds were determined using detailed spectroscopic methods and ECD calculations. Compounds 4-15 displayed moderate hepatoprotective activity against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in HepG2 cells, while compounds 5-15 exhibited markedly enhanced efficacy -surpassing that of bicyclol (positive control).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
