Three new caryophyllane-type sesquiterpenoids, linariophyllenes A−C (1−3), two new hamamelitol derivatives, linaritols A (4) and B (5), two new chromones, linariosides A (6) and B (7), and three known chromones, cnidimol C (8), monnieriside A (9), and undulatoside A (10), were identified from the aerial parts of Evolvulus linarioides. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by NMR, MS, and IR data. The absolute configurations of compounds 1−5 and 7 were established via electronic circular dichroism data. The anti-inflammatory potential of compounds 1−5 and 7−10 was evaluated by determining their ability to inhibit the production of nitric oxide (NO) and proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β by stimulated J774 macrophages. Compounds tested at noncytotoxic concentrations inhibited NO production by macrophages, exhibiting IC 50 values between 17.8 and 66.2 μM, and inhibited IL-1β production by stimulated macrophages by 72.7−96.2%.
Recebido em 14/3/11; aceito em 9/6/11; publicado na web em 5/8/11 CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF THE LEAVES FROM Rollinia leptopetala R. E. FRIES. The phytochemical investigation of Rollinia leptopetala led to the isolation of a new compound named α-terpinyl caffeate, and five known compounds, being three sesquiterpenes, spathulenol, β-caryophyllene and 4β,10α-aromadendrane-diol, and two alkaloids, (-)-3-hydroxynornuciferine and (+)-norisocorydine. These alkaloids are being described for the first time in this genus. The structures of the compounds were determined by analysis of IR, MS and NMR data, as well as by comparison with literature data. The crude extract of R. leptopetala leaves demonstrated a weak cytotoxicity on sarcoma 180 cells with an IC 50 of 512.3 μg/mL. However, the in vivo results showed that the extract exhibited a significant dose-dependent tumor growth reduction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
