Structurally diverse rearranged sesquiterpenoids, including a pair of rare tautomers, from the aerial parts of Daphne penicillata. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2024; 218:113950. [PMID: 38101591 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023]
Abstract
Eight structurally diverse rearranged sesquiterpenoids, including seven undescribed sesquiterpenoids (1a/1b and 3-8) were obtained from the aerial parts of Daphne penicillata. 1a/1b, 3, 5 and 6 possess rare rearranged guaiane skeletons and 4 represents the first example of rearranged carotene sesquiterpenoids. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses, NMR and ECD calculations. Interestingly, 1a and 1b were a pair of magical interconverting epimers that may interconvert by retro-aldol condensation. The mechanism of interconversion has been demonstrated indirectly by 9-OH derivatization of 1a/1b and a hypothetical biogenetic pathway was proposed. All compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities. Among them, 1a/1b and 2 exhibited potential inhibitory activities on the production of NO against LPS-induced BV2 microglial cells.

Abstract
An undescribed diterpene, stellerterpenoid A (1), and two undescribed sesquiterpenoids, stellerterpenoids B and C (2-3), together with six known compounds, prostratin (4) stelleraguaianone B (5), chamaejasnoid A (6), auranticanol L (7), wikstronone C (8), and oleodaphnone (9), were isolated from the roots of Stellera chamaejasme L. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data (1D, 2D NMR, IR, UV, and HR-ESI-MS). The absolute configuration of 1-3 was elucidated based on ECD calculation. Among them, stellerterpenoid A was a rare 13, 14-seco nortigliane diterpenoid and stellerterpenoid B was a guaiacane-type sesquiterpenoid with an unusual 1, 2-diketone moiety. The known stelleraguaianone B (5) exhibited moderate activity for suppressing NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages cells with an IC50 value of 24.76 ± 0.4 μM. None of the compounds showed anti-influenza virus or anti-tumor activity in vitro.

PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2023; 208:113588. [PMID: 36693579 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2023.113588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Chromatographic fractionation of the 95% EtOH extract of the roots of Stellera chamaejasme yielded 20 sesquiterpenoids of four different types, guaiane-, carotane-, sesquicarane-, and alpiniane-types. Among them, sesquistrachanoids A-F were previously undescribed ones, whose structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, the Mo2(OAc)4-induced ECD experiment, and analysis of experimental and calculated 1D NMR and ECD data. Sesquistrachanoid A is a 2,3-seco-guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid with a α-pyrone core and sesquistrachanoid B is the first example of 8,9-seco-guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid featured with an 1,8-δ-lactone core. Sesquistrachanoid C is a guaiane sesquiterpenoid characterized by a peroxide bridge between C-8 and C-10. All sesquiterpenoids were evaluated for their neuroprotective effects on cell damage induced by sodium nitroprusside in PC-12 cells. The bioassay results showed that six compounds at 10 μM could restore the cell viability, being comparable to that of the positive control edaravone. The mechanistic study on the most pronounced activity compound, stelleraguaianone B, demonstrated that it played a neuroprotective role by promoting the mRNA expression of antioxidant enzymes to reduce oxidative stress.

[PMID: 36549383 DOI: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2022.113567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Chlorine-containing guaianolide sesquiterpenoids are rare natural compounds that are mainly derived from plants of the Asteraceae family. Our previous investigations on the whole plant of Achillea millefolium L. resulted in the discovery of two chlorine-containing guaianolide sesquiterpenoids. In the present study, a LC‒MS tracking strategy based on the characteristic isotropic peak of atomic chlorine was employed to isolate nine undescribed chlorine-containing guaianolide sesquiterpenoids, Millefolactons B1-B9, from A. millefolium L.. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis, and the corresponding absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and ECD data analysis. Millefolactons B2-B7 displayed inhibitory activities against LPS-induced NO release in BV-2 microglial cells.

Abstract
Using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry guided molecular networking, 12 undescribed guaiane-type sesquiterpenoids, namely tanguticatins A-L, 19 known analogs and a previously undescribed triterpene (tanguticatin M) were obtained from Daphne tangutica Maxim and characterized. Their planar structures and configurations were elucidated and unequivocally assigned by detailed spectroscopic analyses, electronic circular dichroism spectral calculations and single single-crustal X-ray diffraction analysis. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in murine microglial BV2 cells. Tanguticatin E and K exhibited more potent inhibitory effects than minocycline (positive control).
