The bioassay-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of the root barks of Cudrania tricuspidata furnished three hepatoprotective compounds, gerontoxanthone A (2), cudraflavone B (4), gericudranin E (5), together with four prenylated xanthones, cudraxanthone B (3), isocudraxanthone K (6), cudraxanthone C (7), cudraxanthone H (8), and a prenylated flavanone, euchrestaflavanone C (1). Compounds 4 and 5 showed significant hepatoprotective effects with the EC50 values of 37.39+/-0.4 and 39.87+/-0.7 microM, respectively, and compound 2 showed moderate hepatoprotective effect with an EC50 value of 125.9+/-1.5 microM, against tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in Hep G2 cells. Silybin as positive control showed an EC50 value of 84.76+/-0.5 microM. Isocudraxanthone K (6) is a new compound.
对柘树根皮甲醇提取物进行生物活性导向的分离,得到了三种具有肝保护作用的化合物,即老鹳草黄烷酮A(2)、柘黄酮B(4)、老鹳柘黄素E(5),以及四种异戊烯基取代的呫吨酮,即柘黄烷酮B(3)、异柘黄烷酮K(6)、柘黄烷酮C(7)、柘黄烷酮H(8),还有一种异戊烯基取代的黄烷酮,即宽叶羽扇豆黄烷酮C(1)。化合物4和5对他克林诱导的Hep G2细胞毒性具有显著的肝保护作用,其半数有效浓度(EC50)值分别为37.39±0.4和39.87±0.7微摩尔,化合物2具有中等程度的肝保护作用,EC50值为125.9±1.5微摩尔。水飞蓟宾作为阳性对照,其EC50值为84.76±0.5微摩尔。异柘黄烷酮K(6)是一种新化合物。
