Dengratiol A (1), an unprecedented bibenzyl derivative bearing a tropolone unit together with three pairs of bibenzyl enantiomers (±)-dengratiols B-D [(±)-2-(±)-4], were isolated from Dendrobium gratiossimum Rchb.f. The resolution of enantiomers was performed with chiral HPLC. Their structures were characterized by extensive spectroscopic data analysis and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD). A hypothetical biosynthetic pathway for 1 is proposed. Biological assay revealed that (-)-2 showed moderate antiviral effect against IAV with IC value of 6.3 μM, and (±)-2 displayed cytotoxic activities against five human tumor cell lines with IC values ranging from 15.5 to 42.5 μM.
重楼甲素 A(1)是一种前所未有的联苯衍生物,含有一个三酮单元和三对联苯对映异构体(±)-重楼甲素 B-D[(±)-2-(±)-4],从铁皮石斛中分离得到。对映异构体的拆分采用手性 HPLC 进行。通过广泛的光谱数据分析和计算电子圆二色性(ECD)确定了它们的结构。提出了 1 的假设生物合成途径。生物测定显示,(-)-2 对 IAV 具有中等的抗病毒活性,IC 值为 6.3 μM,(±)-2 对五种人肿瘤细胞系具有细胞毒性活性,IC 值范围为 15.5 至 42.5 μM。
