Abstract
Five new sesquiterpenes comprising three zieranes, melicopatulones A-C (1-3) and two guaianes, melicopatulones D-E (5-6), were isolated from the stems and branches of Melicope patulinervia, together with melicodenones B (4), C (7) and D (8). Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of analysis of MS, NMR, and TDDFT-ECD calculations. Sesquiterpenes 1, 2 and 6 exhibited significant inhibitory effect at 10 µM on lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production in BV-2 microglial cells.
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.
