Abstract
Two unprecedented 2-(2-phenethyl)chromone derivatives, 4′-demethoxy-aquisinenin I (1) and 6"-methoxy-crassna B (2),together with a known 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone dimer (3), were isolated from the ethanol extract of agarwood of Aquilaria crassna. Their structures were constructed through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS. All compounds were screened for their anti-Helicobacter pylori activity and ability to inhibit nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Compound 1 exhibited anti-Helicobacter pylori effect with a MIC value of 40 µM, and anti-inflammatory activity with an IC50 value of 14.10 ± 1.04 μM.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry Letters invites rapid communications on all aspects of natural product research including:
• Structural elucidation of natural products
• Analytical evaluation of herbal medicines
• Clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines
• Natural product biosynthesis
• Natural product synthesis and chemical modification
• Natural product metabolism
• Chemical ecology
• Biotechnology
• Bioassay-guided isolation
• Pharmacognosy
• Pharmacology of natural products
• Metabolomics
• Ethnobotany and traditional usage
• Genetics of natural products
Manuscripts that detail the isolation of just one new compound are not substantial enough to be sent out of review and are out of scope. Furthermore, where pharmacology has been performed on one new compound to increase the amount of novel data, the pharmacology must be substantial and/or related to the medicinal use of the producing organism.
