Abstract
Five undescribed leucosesterterpane sesterterpenoids, leucosceptrines A−E, two undescribed penta-nor-leucosesterterpane (C20) sesterterpenoids, nor-leucosceptrines A and B, and three known analogues, were obtained from the aerial parts of Leucosceptrum canum of Chinese origin. Leucosceptrines A−C are the first examples of leucosesterterpane-type sesterterpenoids with unclosed dihydropyran rings and reverse configurations at chiral centers C-4 and/or C-12. Nor-leucosceptrines A and B possesses an unusual penta-nor-leucosesterterpane skeleton. Their structures were unambiguously elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A plausible biogenetic pathway for these sesterterpenoids was proposed. The immunosuppressive effects of these isolates on the secretion of the cytokine IFN-γ by T cells stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 monoclonal antibodies were observed with different potencies.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry is a leading international journal publishing studies of plant chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, structure and bioactivities of phytochemicals, including ''-omics'' and bioinformatics/computational biology approaches. Phytochemistry is a primary source for papers dealing with phytochemicals, especially reports concerning their biosynthesis, regulation, and biological properties both in planta and as bioactive principles. Articles are published online as soon as possible as Articles-in-Press and in 12 volumes per year. Occasional topic-focussed special issues are published composed of papers from invited authors.
