Rhodoterpenoids A‒C (1‒3), three new rearranged triterpenoids, together with one new biogenetically related compound, rhodoterpenoid D (4), were isolated and efficiently elucidated from Rhododendron latoucheae by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-solid-phase extraction-nuclear magnetic resonance (HPLC‒MS‒SPE‒NMR). Compounds 1 and 2 possess an unprecedented skeleton with a 5/7/6/6/6-fused pentacyclic ring system, while compound 3 contains a unique 6/7/6/6/6-fused pentacyclic carbon backbone. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic methods and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analyses. Plausible biogenetic pathways for 1‒4 were proposed. Compounds 1 and 4 showed potential activity against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) with IC values of 8.62 and 6.87 μM, respectively.
从马缨杜鹃中通过高效液相色谱-质谱-固相萃取-核磁共振(HPLC-MS-SPE-NMR)分离并鉴定了三种新的重排三萜类化合物罗通萜 A-C(1-3),以及一个新的生物相关化合物罗通萜 D(4)。化合物 1 和 2 具有前所未有的骨架,具有 5/7/6/6/6 稠合的五环体系,而化合物 3 则含有独特的 6/7/6/6/6 稠合的五环碳骨架。通过广泛的光谱方法和电子圆二色性(ECD)分析确定了它们的结构。提出了 1-4 的可能生物合成途径。化合物 1 和 4 对单纯疱疹病毒 1(HSV-1)显示出潜在的活性,IC 值分别为 8.62 和 6.87 μM。
