Investigation on Swertia mussotii resulted in four compounds by means of various chromatographic techniques (silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, RP-LC and Pre-HPLC). Their structures were determined as (S,2E,6E)-4,8-dihydroxy-2,6-dimethylocta-2,6-dienoic acid (1), (S,2E,6E)-8-(formyloxy)-4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylocta-2,6-dienoic acid (2), swerimilegenins B and C (3 and 4) on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses including MS, IR, UV, 1D-and 2D-NMR. Among them, compounds 1 and 2 are two new linear monoterpenoids named as swerimusic acids C (1) and D (2), compounds 3 and 4 are two unusual known secoiridoid aglycones of C 9-skeleton obtained for the first time from this plant. Compounds 1~4 were evaluated for their anti-Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) activities on HepG2.2.15 cells line in vitro, but these compounds showed no anti-HBV activity at the maximal tesing concentration. Herin, we only report the isolation and structure elucidation of these compounds.
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.
