Abstract
Ten new grayanane-derived diterpenoids, rhodomollein LVII-LXVI (1-10), along with the known compound rhodomollein XLIII (11), were isolated from the flowers of Rhododendron molle. Their structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction crystallography, and ECD calculations. Rhodomollein LVII-LIX (1-3) are the first-discovered 3-O-(E)-p-coumaroylquinic acid, nicotinic acid, and 2-furoic acid derivatives of grayanane diterpenoids, respectively. In an acetic acid-induced writhing test, compounds 1 and 3 demonstrated significant antinociceptive effects with writhing inhibition rates of 77.2% and 71.5%, respectively, at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg. Compound 1 was found to be twice as potent as morphine, exhibiting significantly lower toxicity (LD50 = 130.90 mg/kg, i.p.) compared to rhodojaponin VI (LD50 = 1.79 mg/kg, i.p.).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Products invites and publishes papers that make substantial and scholarly contributions to the area of natural products research. Contributions may relate to the chemistry and/or biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds or the biology of living systems from which they are obtained.
Specifically, there may be articles that describe secondary metabolites of microorganisms, including antibiotics and mycotoxins; physiologically active compounds from terrestrial and marine plants and animals; biochemical studies, including biosynthesis and microbiological transformations; fermentation and plant tissue culture; the isolation, structure elucidation, and chemical synthesis of novel compounds from nature; and the pharmacology of compounds of natural origin.
When new compounds are reported, manuscripts describing their biological activity are much preferred.
