Abstract
Five new alkaloids, including papaversomnis A-C (1, 3, and 4), sinoracutinal (5), and ethoxyepiglaudine (6), along with two known alkaloids, 2 and 7, were discovered from Papaver somniferum. 1 has unprecedented 6/6/6/6/5/5-fused hexacyclic framework, representing a novel type of morphinan, whereas 4 and 5 are two pairs of E/Z nonseparable stereoisomers. Their stereochemistries were identified via single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, the exciton chirality method evaluation of ECD, comparison of the experimental and calculated 1H and 13C NMR, and ECD data. 1 and 2 exhibited stronger anti-inflammatory effects on NO production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, with IC50 values of 16.63 ± 0.83 and 12.78 ± 0.95 μM, respectively, than the positive control, with IC50 value of 22.10 ± 0.63 μM. Western blotting analysis displayed that 1 and 2 could inhibit the expression of iNOS and COX-2 as key mediators in the inflammatory responses.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
