Abstract
An undescribed coumarin–limonene hybrid (morusalin A, 1), an unreported steppogenin–limonene hybrid (morusalin B, 2), and three undescribed isoprenylated flavonoids (morusalins C–E, 3–5), along with forty-one known ones (6–46), were isolated from the dried roots bark of Morus alba. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by detailed interpretation of NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and ECD calculations. In addition, all these isolated compounds were assayed for their inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macro-phage RAW 264.7 cells and for their cytotoxic activities against human colon cancer (HCT 8) and hepatoma (HepG 2) cells. Moreover, a biosynthetic pathway for the formation of compounds 1–6 is also proposed.
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.
