Abstract
Eight new cadinane sesquiterpenoids (1–8), along with two known compounds (9 and 10), were isolated from infected stems of the semi-mangrove plant, Hibiscus tiliaceus. The structures of compounds 1–8 were elucidated through the analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR and MS data, and their absolute configurations were determined by comparing their experimental and calculated ECD spectra and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two confused known compounds (9 and 10) were resolved using single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Compounds 1–3 have novel norsesquiterpene carbon skeletons arising from a ring contraction rearrangement. All obtained isolates were evaluated against the HepG2 and Huh7 cell lines, and compounds 1b, 2b, 4, 6, and 8 showed cytotoxic activity toward both cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 3.5 to 6.8 μM.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
