Abstract
Six hitherto unreported polyoxygenated stigmastane-type steroids, vernoglabrosterols A and B (1 and 2), and vernoglabrosides A-D (3-6), along with two known analogues (7 and 8), were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the whole plant of Vernonia glabra (Steetz) Vatke (Asteraceae). Their structural elucidation was achieved by analysis of spectroscopic and spectrometric data, X-ray crystallography, as well as comparison to data reported in the literature. Compounds 3, 5, and 6 displayed significant DPPH scavenging activity, with IC50 values of 2.49, 4.26, and 4.53 μg/mL, respectively. All of the tested compounds showed significant activities as judged by the FRAP assay compared to l-ascorbic acid. This is the first report of polyoxygenated stigmastane-type steroids C-6/C-7 oxygenated and 24,28-diol from the genus Vernonia.
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.
