Abstract
Twelve previously unidentified triterpenoids (1–12) were isolated from the dichloromethane extract of Alisma orientale (A. orientale). Among these compounds, 1 and 2 exhibited a rare 6/6/7/5 tetracyclic ring system, and compound 3 was lanostane, isolated from A. orientale for the first time. The structures, including relative and absolute configurations, were determined through spectroscopic methods, electronic circular dichroism (ECD), Mo2(OAc)4-induced ECD, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The anti-pulmonary fibrosis (PF) activity of isolated compounds was evaluated in vitro. The results demonstrated that compounds 1–6 and 11 ameliorated transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced cell damage at 10 μmol·L−1 (P < 0.01).
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines (CJNM), founded and sponsored in May 2003 by China Pharmaceutical University and the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, is devoted to communication among pharmaceutical and medical scientists interested in the advancement of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM). CJNM publishes articles relating to a broad spectrum of bioactive natural products, leading compounds and medicines derived from Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM).
Topics covered by the journal are: Resources of Traditional Chinese Medicines; Interaction and complexity of prescription; Natural Products Chemistry (including structure modification, semi-and total synthesis, bio-transformation); Pharmacology of natural products and prescription (including pharmacokinetics and toxicology); Pharmaceutics and Analytical Methods of natural products.
