Eleven previously unreported sesquiterpenes, including nine eudesmane-type (agalleudesmanol A-I) and two agarospirane-type sesquiterpenes (agarospiranic aldehyde A-B), together with eight known sesquiterpenes, were isolated from the agarwood of Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. The structures were established based on extensive spectroscopic analyses, including infrared (IR), high-resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (HRESIMS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray diffraction, quantum chemical calculations based on empirical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data, and DP4+ probability analysis. The bioactivity of these undescribed compounds against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells was evaluated. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activities, with IC values of 5.46-14.07 μM (aminoguanidine as positive control, IC 20.33 ± 1.08 μM).
从白木香 Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. 中分离得到 11 个未报道的倍半萜,包括 9 个艾里烷型(agalleudesmanol A-I)和 2 个琼脂螺旋烷型倍半萜(agarospiranic aldehyde A-B),以及 8 个已知倍半萜。根据广泛的光谱分析,包括红外(IR)、高分辨电喷雾电离质谱(HRESIMS)、核磁共振(NMR)、X 射线衍射、基于经验电子圆二色性(ECD)数据的量子化学计算和 DP4+概率分析,确定了这些未描述化合物的结构。评估了这些描述性化合物对 RAW 264.7 细胞中脂多糖(LPS)诱导的 NO 产生的生物活性。化合物 1 和 2 表现出显著的抗炎活性,IC 值为 5.46-14.07 μM(氨胍作为阳性对照,IC 20.33±1.08 μM)。
