The first chemical study on the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan Linn. led to isolation of 11 cassane-type diterpenes, named phanginin A-K (1-11). The skeleton present in compounds 1-8 is rather unusual, consisting of a cassane-type diterpene with an ether bridge between C-19/C-20 in compounds 1-6 and C-11/C-20 in compounds 7 and 8. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic techniques. In addition, the X-ray structure of phanginin A (1) is reported. Only phanginin I (9) exhibited cytotoxic effect against KB cell line with IC50 value of 4.4 microg/ml.
对苏木种子的首次化学研究导致分离出11种决明烷型二萜,命名为方宁素A - K(1 - 11)。化合物1 - 8中存在的骨架相当不寻常,由一种决明烷型二萜组成,在化合物1 - 6中C - 19/C - 20之间有一个醚桥,在化合物7和8中C - 11/C - 20之间有一个醚桥。它们的结构是基于光谱技术阐明的。此外,还报道了方宁素A(1)的X射线结构。只有方宁素I(9)对KB细胞系表现出细胞毒性作用,IC50值为4.4微克/毫升。
