Three dimeric cassane diterpenoids, caesalpanins A-C, were isolated from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan L., as well as three known compounds. Their structures were determined via analysis of 1D-, 2D-NMR, and HR-ESI-MS data. Caesalpanins A and B were the second and third compounds that presented a nitrogen-containing cassane diterpenoid dimer linked through one ether bond between C-19 and C-20'. Caesalpanin B exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cell lines with IC value of 29.98 μm. Caesalpanins A and B had weak inhibitory effects against LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 macrophages at 50 μm with inhibitory rate of 36.01 % and 32.93 %, respectively.
从苏木(Caesalpinia sappan L.)种子中分离得到三种二聚型贝壳杉烷二萜类化合物,即 caesalpanins A-C,以及三种已知化合物。通过一维、二维 NMR 和高分辨电喷雾质谱(HR-ESI-MS)数据分析确定了它们的结构。Caesalpanins A 和 B 是第二个和第三个含有氮的贝壳杉烷二萜类二聚体,通过 C-19 和 C-20 之间的一个醚键连接。Caesalpanin B 对 MCF-7 细胞系表现出中等的细胞毒性,IC 值为 29.98 μm。Caesalpanins A 和 B 在 50 μm 时对 LPS 诱导的 RAW 264.7 巨噬细胞中一氧化氮(NO)的产生具有较弱的抑制作用,抑制率分别为 36.01%和 32.93%。
