Abstract
Six undescribed minor lactones (uncarterolides A-F, 1-6) were isolated from a water decoction of the hook-bearing stems of Uncaria rhynchophylla (gou-teng). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic data analysis, along with electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and NMR calculations. Compounds 3-6 are abnormal homo-monoterpene enolic ether lactones sharing structural features with monoterpene alkaloids from gou-teng, as well as compounds 3 and 6 attenuated APAP-induced HepG2 cell damage by increasing the cell viability from 59.39% to 75.87% and 74.43%, respectively.
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.
