Investigation of the Australian rainforest plant Croton insularis revealed seven new cis-, two new trans-cyclopropane casbanes, and the first trans-cyclopropane seco-casbane. The relative configuration of the cyclopropane moiety for all compounds (EBC-182, 217, 218, 220, 343, 357, 358, 361, 365, 373; EBC=EcoBiotics Compound) was assigned using C NMR data. Comparison of the experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra with the theoretical curves, calculated by TD-DFT at the B3LYP/6-31+G**//B3LYP/6-31+G** level, in conjunction with NOE data afforded the absolute configuration. EBC-180, 181 and 220 displayed potent activity against cervical carcinoma (HeLa cells).
对澳大利亚雨林植物 Croton insularis 的研究揭示了七种新的顺式、两种新的反式环丙烷卡烷,以及第一个反式环丙烷 secocasbane。所有化合物(EBC-182、217、218、220、343、357、358、361、365、373;EBC=EcoBiotics Compound)中环丙烷部分的相对构型均使用 ¹³C NMR 数据确定。实验电子圆二色谱(ECD)光谱与理论曲线的比较,通过 TD-DFT 在 B3LYP/6-31+G**//B3LYP/6-31+G**水平上计算,并结合 NOE 数据确定了绝对构型。EBC-180、181 和 220 对宫颈癌(HeLa 细胞)表现出很强的活性。
