A new dolabrane-type diterpene named tagalsin O 1, together with six known analogues 2-7, were isolated from the aerial part of the mangrove plant Ceriops tagal. The structures and relative configurations were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds against HeLa human cervical carcinoma cancer cell line was evaluated.
Four new compounds, including one new sesquiterpene dimer, i.e., shizukaol P (1), one new dimeric sesquiterpene glycoside, i.e., 9-O-b-glucopyranosylcycloshizukaol A (2), and two new sesquiterpenes, i.e., shizukanolides G and H (3 and 4, resp.), together with eight known compounds, were isolated from the aerial part of Chloranthus fortunei. The structures and relative configurations were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data and by comparison with those of the related compounds reported in the literature.Introduction. [25]. Chloranthus fortunei (A. Gray) Solms-Laub has been used in Chinese folk medicine for the treatment of bone fractures [26]. During our ongoing search for biologically active substances from this plant, 13 compounds have been isolated from the aerial part of it. Four of them were new compounds, including one new sesquiterpene dimer, i.e., shizukaol P (1), one new dimeric sesquiterpene glycoside, i.e., 9-O-b-glucopyranosylcycloshizukaol A (2), and two new sesquiterpenes, i.e., shizukanolides G and H (3 and 4, resp.). The other eight known compounds were identified as shizukaol F (5) [7], and chloranoside A (12) [10]. Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data and by comparing with the related compounds reported in the literature.
Three new lupane-type triterpenes, 3 alpha-O-trans-feruloylbetulinic acid (1), 3 alpha-O-trans-coumaroylbetulinic acid (2) and 3beta-O-cis-feruloylbetulin (3), together with 10 known triterpenes (4-13), were isolated from the aerial parts of the mangrove plant Ceriops tagal. The structures of the three new compounds were established by means of spectroscopic data analyses and chemical methods.
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.
