Abstract
Ten undescribed leucosceptrane-type sesterterpenoids with antipodal cyclopentenone moieties were isolated from the leaves of Leucosceptrum canum. Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses (including 1D and 2D NMR, and HRMS) and ECD calculations. In vitro immunosuppressive effects of these sesterterpenoids against the proliferation of T cells and the secretion of cytokine IFN-γ were evaluated. Among them, 11α-H-leucosceptroid C, 5,13-dehydro-11α-H-leucosceptroid C, 5,13-dehydro-11β-hydroxy-leucosceptroid C, and 5,13-dehydro-11α-hydroxy-leucosceptroid C significantly inhibited IFN-γ secretion with IC50 values of 12.55–23.62 μM. More remarkable inhibitory effects against IFN-γ secretion were observed for 5,13-dehydro-11β-hydroxy-leucosceptroid D, leucosceptroid U, 14-epi-leucosceptroid U, leucosceptroid V, and 14-epi-leucosceptroid V, with IC50 values of 4.32–9.47 μM.
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.
