Phytochemical investigation of the stems of Eurycoma longifolia Jack led to the isolation of two new canthin-6-one alkaloids, 4,9-dimethoxycanthin-6-one (1) and 10-hydroxy-11-methoxycanthin-6-one (2), and a new tirucallane-type triterpenoid, 23,24,25-trihydroxytirucall-7-en-3,6-dione (3), along with 37 known compounds. Among these, an oxasqualenoid (4) was isolated as a natural product for the first time. The structures of the isolates were elucidated by spectroscopic and mass spectrometric means. All the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against a HT-1080 human fibrosarcoma cell line. Among them, 9,10-dimethoxycanthin-6-one (14, IC50 = 5.0 microM), 10-hydroxy-9-methoxycanthin-6-one (15, IC50 = 7.2 microM), dihydroniloticin (18, IC50 = 8.2 microM), and 14-deacetyleurylene (34, IC50 = 3.2 microM) displayed stronger activity than the positive control 5-FU (IC50 = 9.2 microM).
对长叶刺蒺藜茎进行植物化学研究,分离得到两种新的铁屎米 - 6 - 酮生物碱,4,9 - 二甲氧基铁屎米 - 6 - 酮(1)和10 - 羟基 - 11 - 甲氧基铁屎米 - 6 - 酮(2),以及一种新的羽扇豆烷型三萜,23,24,25 - 三羟基羽扇豆 - 7 - 烯 - 3,6 - 二酮(3),还有37种已知化合物。其中,一种氧化角鲨烯类化合物(4)首次作为天然产物被分离出来。通过光谱和质谱手段阐明了分离物的结构。对所有分离物进行了针对HT - 1080人纤维肉瘤细胞系的细胞毒性活性评估。其中,9,10 - 二甲氧基铁屎米 - 6 - 酮(14,IC50 = 5.0 microM)、10 - 羟基 - 9 - 甲氧基铁屎米 - 6 - 酮(15,IC50 = 7.2 microM)、二氢尼罗霉素(18,IC50 = 8.2 microM)和14 - 脱乙酰基刺蒺藜烯(34,IC50 = 3.2 microM)显示出比阳性对照5 - FU(IC50 = 9.2 microM)更强的活性。
