Seven sesquiterpenes including four eremophilanes (1–4) and three cadinenes (5–7), were isolated from the heartwood of Syringa oblata Lindl. Among them, three new eremophilane‐type sesquiterpenes were identified and named oblatanoids A–C (1–3), respectively. Their structures were established by extensive analyses of spectroscopic methods, and their absolute configurations were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. All these new compounds were evaluated for protective effects against hypoxia‐induced injury on H9c2 cells, and 1–3 exhibited significantly protective activities toward H9c2 cells in vitro.
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.
