Six undescribed steroids were isolated from the fungus Inonotus obliquus. Notably, compounds 1 and 2 represented the first example of 8,14-seco-4-methylpregnane. By spectroscopic data analyses, quantum chemical calculations and DP4+ probability analysis, their structures were unambiguously determined. The absolute configurations of the compounds 1-6 were defined by comparison of their experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra data. The structure of compound 1 was also confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All isolated steroids were evaluated for their neuroprotective activities against H2O2-induced cell injury in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, among which compound 2 showed moderate activity at 12.5 μM.
从真菌 Inonotus obliquus 中分离得到六种未被描述的甾体化合物。值得注意的是,化合物 1 和 2 代表了首例 8,14-去甲-4-甲基孕烷。通过光谱数据分析、量子化学计算和 DP4+ 概率分析,明确了它们的结构。通过比较实验和计算的电子圆二色性(ECD)光谱数据,确定了化合物 1-6 的绝对构型。化合物 1 的结构还通过单晶 X 射线衍射得到了证实。所有分离得到的甾体化合物均对人神经母细胞瘤 SH-SY5Y 细胞中 H2O2 诱导的细胞损伤的神经保护活性进行了评价,其中化合物 2 在 12.5 μM 时表现出中等活性。
