Compound 2 was also active against P. gingivalis ATCC 33277, with an MIC value of 31.25 μg·m L-1. In conlcusion, our resutls indicate that these compounds may provide a basis for future development of novel antibiotics.

文摘Two new furan fragment isomerized limonoids, meliazedalides A and B(compounds 1 and 2), were isolated from the fruits of Melia azedarach Linn.. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of HR-ESI-MS and 1D and 2D NMR data, which belonged to nimbolinin-and trichilin-class, respectively. Compound 2 exhibited weak inhibitory effect on NO production in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages with IC_(50) being 37.41 μmol·L^(–1).

文摘Four new limonoid-type nortriterpenoids, 1-detigloyl-1-O-methacryloylsalannin(1), 28-deoxo-2,3-dihydronimbolide(2), 12-acetoxy-3-O-acetyl-7-O-tigloylvilasinin(3) and 12-acetoxy-3-Oacetyl-7-O-methacryloylvilasinin(4), along with five known ones, were isolated from seeds of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. Their structures were elucidated by various spectroscopic methods, including UV, IR, MS, NMR, X-ray crystallography, quantum chemical calculation, as well as by comparison of their spectroscopic data with those reported. In the in vitro cytotoxic assay, 2 showed inhibitory activity against human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell line with IC_(50) value of 7.68±1.74 μmol/L, and 5 inhibited growth of human cervical cancer Hela cell line, melanoma A375 cell line and promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line, with IC_(50) 12.00±2.08, 17.44±2.11, and 13.95±5.74 μmol/L, respectively.

文摘Screening active natural products, rapid identification, and accurate isolation are of great important for modern natural lead compounds discovery1. We hereby reported the isolation of seven new neotecleanin-type limonoids(1–7), seven new limonoids with 5-oxatricyclo[5.4.0.11,4]hendecane ring system(8–14), and two new precursors(15–16) together with four known limonoids(17–20) from the root barks of Walsura robusta. Their structures, including their absolute configurations, were elucidated based on analyses of HR-ESI-MS, 1D/2D NMR, ECD spectrum calculations and singlecrystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Compounds 2, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 18 showed significant anti-inflammatory activities in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cell line, BV2 microglial cells, and Propionibacterium acnes-stimulated THP-1 human monocytic cells. Walrobsin M(11) exhibited anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 value of 7.9670.36 μmol/L, and down-regulated phosphorylation levels of ERK and p38 in a dose-dependent manner.

文摘Three new limonoid-type triterpenoids,namely toonasins A–C(1–3)with a rare lactam E ring,along with six known compounds(4–9)were isolated from the barks of Toona sinensis.The structures of new compounds were elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data,and the relative configuration of compound 1 was further characterized by X-ray crystallographic analyses.The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against five human tumor cell lines(HL-60,SMMC-7721,A-549,MCF-7 and SW480),and compounds 3 and 5 showed weak cytotoxicities.
