Compounds 1–5 represent a novel group of sulfur-enriched alkaloids, biogenetically originating from stereoselective assemblies of epigoitrin-derived units. Isolation and structure characterization of 6 a and 6 b support the postulated biosynthetic pathways for the diastereomers 9 a and 9 b via a rare thio-Diels–Alder reaction. Compounds 2 and 4 showed antiviral activity against the influenza virus A/Hanfang/359/95(H3 N2, IC500.60 and 1.92 μmol/L) and the herpes simplex virus 1(HSV-1, IC503.70 and 2.87 μmol/L), and 2 also inhibited Coxsackie virus B3(IC500.71 μmol/L).& 2018 Chinese Pharmaceutical Association and Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

摘要Eight new C19-diterpenoid alkaloid arabinosides, named aconicarmichosides E–L(1–8), were isolated from an aqueous extract of the lateral roots of Aconitum carmichaelii(Fu Zi). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods including 2D NMR experiments and acid hydrolysis. Compounds 1–8, together with the previously reported four neoline 14-O-arabinosides from the same plant, represent the only examples of glycosidic diterpenoid alkaloids so far. At a dose of 1.0 mg/kg(i.p.), as compared with the black control, compounds 1, 2, and 4–6 exhibited analgesic effects with 465.6% inhibitions against acetic acid-induced writhing of mice. Structure–activity relationship was also discussed.

摘要Six new indole alkaloid sulfonic acids(1–6), together with two analogues(7 and 8) that were previously reported as synthetic products, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the Isatis indigotica root. Their structures including the absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic data analysis, combined with enzyme hydrolysis and comparison of experimental circular dichroism and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. In the preliminary assay, compounds 2 and 4 showed antiviral activity against Coxsackie virus B3 and influenza virus A/Hanfang/359/95(H3N2), respectively.

摘要Three pairs of glycosidic 8,4′-oxyneolignane diastereoisomers, named isatioxyneolignosides A-F(1–6), were isolated from an aqueous extract of Isatis indigotica roots. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis and enzyme hydrolysis. The validity of ΔδC8-C7 values to distinguish threo and erythro aryl glycerol units and Cotton effects at 235±5 nm to determine absolute configurations at C-8 in 1–6 and their aglycones(1a–6a) are discussed.

摘要A pair of new diphenyl glycerol ether enantiomers(-)-l and(+)-l and two new methyl benzamidobenzoates 2 and 3,named(-)-(R)-and(+)-(S)-isatindigotrioic acid[(-)-l and(+)-l]and isatindigoticamides A(2) and B(3),respectively,were isolated from an aqueous decoction of the roots of Isatis indigotica(ban lan gen).Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis including2 D NMR experiments.The absolute configurations of(-)-l and(+)-l were assigned based on the CD exciton chirality method.Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited antiviral activities against HSV-1 with IC50values of 4.87 and 25.87μmol/L,respectively.Compound 2 was also found active against Coxsackie virus B3 and LPS-induced NO production.

摘要Seven indole alkaloid glycosides containing a 1′-(4″-hydroxy-3″,5″-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl unit(1-7)were isolated from an aqueous extract of Isatis indigotica leaves(da qing ye).Their structures were determined by spectroscopic data analysis combined with enzymatic hydrolysis as well as comparison of their experimental CD(circular dichroism)and calculated ECD(electrostatic circular dichroism)spectra.Based on analysis of[α]D20 and/or Cotton effect(CE)data of 1-7,two simple roles to assign location and/or configuration ofβ-glycopyranosyloxy and 1′-(phenyl)ethyl units in the indole alkaloid glycosides are proposed.Stereoselectivity in plausible biosynthetic pathways of 1-7 is discussed.Compounds 3 and 4 and their mixture in a 3:2 ratio showed activity against KCNQ2 in CHO cells.The mixture of 5 and 6(3:2)exhibited antiviral activity against influenza virus H1 N1 PR8 with IC5064.7μmol/L(ribavirin,IC5054.3μmol/L),however,the individual 5 or 6 was inactive.Preliminary structure-activity relationships were observed.
