Two novel zierane-type sesquiterpenes, named melicodenones A and B (1 and 2, resp.), and three new guaiane-type sesquiterpenes, named melicodenones C-E (3-5), were isolated from the root of Melicope denhamii (Seem.) T. G. Hartley together with zierone (6). Their structures were established by extensive NMR-spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1-6 were tested for cytotoxicity using human colon cancer DLD-1 cells, and melicodenone A (1) was found to exhibit moderate activity.
从思茅九里香(Melicope denhamii(Seem.)T. G. Hartley)根部分离得到了两个新型紫堇烷型倍半萜,分别命名为 melicodenones A 和 B(1 和 2),以及三个新的愈创木烷型倍半萜,分别命名为 melicodenones C-E(3-5)。通过广泛的 NMR 谱分析确定了它们的结构。测试了化合物 1-6 对人结肠癌细胞 DLD-1 的细胞毒性,发现 melicodenone A(1)具有中等活性。
