New carabrane-type sesquiterpene lactones, curcumenolactones A, B, and C, were isolated from the 80% aqueous acetone extract of Zedoariae Rhizoma (Zingiberaceae), together with 41 sesquiterpenes and two diarylheptanoids. The absolute stereostructures of curcumenolactones A, B, and C were determined on the basis of physicochemical evidence, which included nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) and circular dichroic (CD) spectroscopic analyses. Curcumenone, a principal carabrane-type sesquiterpene from Zedoariae Rhizoma, was found to show potent protective effect on D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide-induced acute liver injury in mice. In addition, curcumenolactones A and B and the other constituents showed protective effect on D-galactosamine-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes.
从姜黄(姜科)的80%丙酮水溶液提取物中分离出新型卡拉布烷型倍半萜内酯莪术烯内酯A、B和C,以及41种倍半萜和两种二芳基庚烷类化合物。基于包括核Overhauser效应(NOE)和圆二色(CD)光谱分析在内的物理化学证据,确定了莪术烯内酯A、B和C的绝对立体结构。莪术酮是姜黄中主要的卡拉布烷型倍半萜,被发现对D-半乳糖胺/脂多糖诱导的小鼠急性肝损伤具有显著的保护作用。此外,莪术烯内酯A和B以及其他成分对原代培养大鼠肝细胞中D-半乳糖胺诱导的细胞毒性具有保护作用。
