Abstract
A chemical study on 80% methanol extract of the twigs of Chisocheton paniculatus led to the isolation of two novel limonoids, paniculatusines A and B (1 and 2). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectral methods such as 1D and 2D (HMQC, and HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, as well as high resolution mass spectrometry. The isolated limonoids were tested in vitro for cytotoxic activities against 5 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (SMMC-7721, Bel-7402, MHCC97, HepG2, and Hep3B). Consequently, limonoid 1 exhibited some cytotoxic activities against all the tested tumor cell lines with IC50 values less than 20 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.
