Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the aerial roots of Ficus sur, a Cameroonian medicinal plant, resulted in a previously undescribed cerebroside, suroside (1), in addition to its aglycon congener suramide (2). Moreover, six known natural products including alpinumisoflavone (3), wighteone metabolite (4), oleanolic acid (5), β-sitosterol (6), β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), and epi-ѱ-taraxastanolone (8) were identified. The structures of the previously undescribed compounds were determined by analysis of 1D and 2D-NMR (One and two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance), mass spectrometry, chemical conversion, and by comparison of these data with those from the literature. Wighteone metabolite (4) exhibited a weak cytotoxic activity against the human HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells with an IC50 value of 51.9 µM.
对喀麦隆药用植物Ficus sur的气生根进行植物化学研究,发现了一种以前未被描述过的脑苷,suroside(1),以及其糖醛酸同属物suramide(2)。此外,还鉴定了六种已知的天然产物,包括alpinumisoflavone(3),白豆酮代谢物(4),齐ole果酸(5),β-谷甾醇(6),β-谷甾醇-3- o -β-D-glucopyranoside(7)和epi-ѱ-taraxastanolone(8)。通过1D和2d核磁共振(一维和二维核磁共振)、质谱分析、化学转化分析以及与文献数据的比较,确定了先前描述的化合物的结构。怀特酮代谢物(4)对人HepG2肝癌细胞具有较弱的细胞毒活性,IC50值为51.9µM。
期刊介绍:
A Journal of Biosciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C (ZNC) is an international scientific journal and a community resource for the emerging field of natural and natural-like products. The journal publishes original research on the isolation (including structure elucidation), bio-chemical synthesis and bioactivities of natural products, their biochemistry, pharmacology, biotechnology, and their biological activity and innovative developed computational methods for predicting the structure and/or function of natural products. A Journal of Biosciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C (ZNC) welcomes research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary which address scientific ideas and approaches to generate and understand natural compounds on a molecular level and/or use them to stimulate and manipulate biological processes.
