Abstract
Three new shikimate-conjugated meroterpenes, tricycloalternarenes Z1-Z3 (1-3), were isolated from Alternaria alternate, an endophytic fungus residing in Apis mellifera. The structures of new compounds were characterized by analyses of their NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations were assigned through electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations and CD spectra. Bioassay results showed that tricycloalternarene Z1 (1) exhibited moderate anti-inflammatory activity against the LPS-induced production of NO in RAW 264.7 cells, with an IC50 value of 0.93 µM.
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.
