Abstract
Six undescribed meroterpenoids, designated as hyperwightianols I-N (1-6), were isolated from the dried whole herb of Hypericum wightianum. The structures of these compounds were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, including high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), 1D & 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), as well as electronic circular dichroism (ECD). Compounds 1-3 featured a chromone core hybridized with a monoterpene unit (geranyl or geranyl-derived groups), while 4-6 were characterized by benzoic acid or cinnamic acid cores hybridized with a lavandulyl unit. In all cases, the monoterpene fragments were linked to the core structures via C-4 ether bond.
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.
