An elaborated phytochemical study on the fresh fruits of Terminalia chebula var. tomentella (Combretaceae) led to the isolation of five new lignans, including three tetrahydrofuran (1-3) and two furofuran (4 and 5) derivatives, namely termitomenins A-E (1-5), along with 10 known ones. All of them were obtained from the titled plant for the first time. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D/2D NMR, MS, UV, IR, electronic circular dichroism (ECD), time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculation of ECD spectra, and single crystal X-ray diffraction in case of 3. Compounds 1-15 exhibited certain anti-inflammatory activities. Interestingly, compounds 6 (IC = 18.17 ± 0.57 μM) and 7 (IC = 13.66 ± 0.38 μM) which contain an aldehyde group displayed stronger NO inhibitory activity than the positive control L-NMMA (IC = 42.34 ± 0.66 μM).
对诃子变种绒毛诃子(使君子科)的新鲜果实进行了详细的植物化学研究,从中分离得到了 5 个新的木脂素,包括 3 个四氢呋喃(1-3)和 2 个呋喃(4 和 5)衍生物,即诃子脂素 A-E(1-5),以及 10 个已知化合物。所有这些化合物均首次从该植物中获得。通过广泛的光谱分析,包括 1D/2D NMR、MS、UV、IR、电子圆二色性(ECD)、基于时间密度泛函理论(TDDFT)的 ECD 光谱计算和单晶 X 射线衍射,确定了它们的结构。化合物 1-15 表现出一定的抗炎活性。有趣的是,含有醛基的化合物 6(IC=18.17±0.57μM)和 7(IC=13.66±0.38μM)比阳性对照 L-NMMA(IC=42.34±0.66μM)具有更强的 NO 抑制活性。
