Synthesis of 2-aryl-5-alkyl-7-methoxylbenzo[b]furan derivatives

A series of 2-aryl-5-alkyl-7-methoxylbenzo[b]furan derivatives have been synthesized by utilizing the coupling of methyl 3- methoxy-4hydroxy-5-bromocinnamate with cuprous phenylacetylide as the key step. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR and MS. The structure of compound 14 was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray. Compound 17 showed cytotoxic activity against human lung carcinoma A549.

海风藤中有PAF拮抗活性的苯骈呋喃类新木脂素

自福建产中药海风藤(Piper kadsura (Choisy)Ohwi)的藤茎中又分得5个苯骈呋喃类新木脂素,经光谱分析(UV,IR,MS,NMR,CD)和衍生物制备,确定化合物Ⅱ和Ⅴ为新结构。Ⅱ为化合物denudatin B的对映体,命名为(-)-denudatin B,V为7S,8S-3,4,3′-三甲氧基-7′-氧-缺8′,9′-7.O.4,′8.5′-新木脂素,命名为风藤素M(kadsurenin M)。化合物Ⅰ,Ⅲ和Ⅳ分别为已知化合物海风藤酮(Ⅰ),(-)-acuminatin(Ⅲ)和(+)-licarin A(Ⅳ)。PAF受体结合实验证明,(-)-denudatin B也具有较强的PAF拮抗活性。

山茱萸中的一个新联苯类木脂素

采用大孔吸附树脂、MCI、Toyopearl HW-40C以及硅胶等柱色谱技术并结合半制备液相对山茱萸水提物进行分离纯化,通过HRESIMS、NMR、IR、UV和ECD等方法对分离得到的化合物进行结构鉴定。从山茱萸果实中共分离得到12个化合物,分别鉴定为neolignan B(1)、2,3-dihydro-7-methoxy-2-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxyphenyl)-3a-O-β-D-xylopyranosyloxymethyl-5-benzofuranpropanol(2)、cornucadinoside A(3)、3,4-二羟基苯乙酮(4)、没食子酸正丁酯(5)、间羟基苯甲酸(6)、奎宁酸正丁酯(7)、5-羟基麦芽酚(8)、2-糠酸(9)、5-羟甲基糠醛(10)、5-(甲氧基羰基)-2-吡咯烷酮(11)、苹果酸二甲酯(12)。化合物1为新联苯类木脂素,命名为neolignan B。化合物2、4、5、7~9、11为首次从山茱萸中分离得到。

8-O-4’ Neolignan glycosides from the aerial parts of Matteuccia struthiopteris

Two new 8-O-4＇ neolignan glycosides, named matteustruthiosides A（1） and B（2） were isolated from the aerial parts of Matteuccia struthiopteris. Their chemical structures were characterized on the basis of various spectroscopic techniques. The absolute configurations of them were determined by experimental circular dichroism（CD） spectra. Compounds 1 and 2 were inactive against influenza A（H1N1） virus in vitro.
