Two sesquiterpene dimers, commiphoratones A (1) and B (2), were isolated from Resina Commiphora. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic, computational, and crystallographic methods. Compounds 1 and 2 represent an unusual pattern of dimerization between two types of sesquiterpenes. Moreover, compound 1 has a saddle shape. The plausible biosynthetic pathway for 1 and 2 is presented. Bioassay showed that 1 and 2 significantly block lipid metabolism in a concentration-dependent manner.
从 Commiphora 树脂中分离得到两个倍半萜二聚体,commiphoratones A(1)和 B(2)。通过光谱、计算和晶体学方法阐明了它们的结构。化合物 1 和 2 代表了两种类型的倍半萜之间不寻常的二聚模式。此外,化合物 1 具有鞍形结构。提出了 1 和 2 的可能生物合成途径。生物测定表明,1 和 2 以浓度依赖的方式显著阻断脂质代谢。
