New Highly Oxygenated Germacranolides from Carpesium divaricatum and their Cytotoxic Activity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eight highly oxygenated germacranolides (1-8) including four new ones (2-5) were isolated from the whole plant of Carpesium divaricatum. The planar structures and relative configurations of the new compounds were determined by NMR experiment and HRESIMS data. The absolute configuration of 1 was established by circular dichroism (CD) method and X-ray diffraction, and the stereochemistry of the new compounds 2-5 were determined by similar CD spectra with 1. Compound 2 is the first hydroperoxyl germacrane from the genus Carpesium. The (13)C NMR data of 1, NMR data of 6-7, and their absolute configurations were reported for the first time. Two new compounds (2 and 4) and two known compounds (6 and 8) exhibited potent cytotoxicity against human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells, superior to that of the positive control doxorubicin.

Objective(s) As an important class of natural products, coumarins exhibit many biological activities and the diversity of their bioactivity is so huge that the pharmacological promiscuity has been applied on their case. Oxypeucedanine also named as prangolarin is a linear furanocoumarin with an oxygenated prenylated substitution at C-5 of the nucleus. To our knowledge, there are few reports on...

Corresponding Author Tel: +385 51 651 150 Fax: +385 51 675 699 E-mail: [email protected] BACKGROUND: Peptidoglycan monomer (PGM), which was originally prepared by biosynthesis from culture fluids of penicillin-treated Brevibacterium divaricatum, is an immunostimulator, the activities of which might be improved by addition of zinc (Zn) to the basic molecule. Methods: To test the possible cytotoxic...

The aim of our work was to compare cytotoxic and membrane-damaging effects of O. majorana L. essential oil and linalool on Hep G2 and to investigate their possible protective (antioxidant) effects against H2O2 induced membrane damage. The oils were investigated by GC and GC-MS and antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH and -carotene–linoleic acid assays. Assessment of cell viability was ma...
متن کاملSesquiterpene lactones from Carpesium abrotanoides.
Phytochemical study on the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Carpesium abrotanoides led to the isolation of two new sesquiterpene lactones, carabrolactone A (1) and carabrolactone B (2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis.
