Ten undescribed sesquiterpenes, ferusamarkins A-J, in addition to eight known analogues were isolated from the roots of Ferula samarkandica Korovin native to Uzbekistan. Their structures were established by means of extensive spectroscopic analyses, including HRESIMS, NMR, UV and IR data. The absolute configurations were successfully determined based on ECD calculations in combination with single-crystal X-ray diffraction crystallography. Ferusamarkins A-J exhibit fascinating significance in terms of structural diversity, with sesquiterpene types of eudesmane for ferusamarkins A-E, germacrane for ferusamarkin F, guaiane for ferusamarkins G-I and daucane for ferusamarkin J. The results of bioactivity assays indicated that ferusamarkin E displayed anti-inflammatory property by suppressing the release of NO in LPS-induced Raw264.7 cells, with an IC value of 60.05 ± 5.18 μM.
从乌兹别克斯坦本土的撒马尔罕阿魏(Ferula samarkandica Korovin)的根部分离出了10种未描述的倍半萜类化合物,即撒马尔罕阿魏素A-J,以及8种已知类似物。通过广泛的光谱分析,包括高分辨电喷雾电离质谱(HRESIMS)、核磁共振(NMR)、紫外(UV)和红外(IR)数据确定了它们的结构。结合单晶X射线衍射晶体学通过电子圆二色光谱(ECD)计算成功确定了绝对构型。撒马尔罕阿魏素A-J在结构多样性方面具有迷人的意义,其中撒马尔罕阿魏素A-E为桉叶烷型倍半萜,撒马尔罕阿魏素F为吉马烷型,撒马尔罕阿魏素G-I为愈创木烷型,撒马尔罕阿魏素J为胡萝卜烷型。生物活性测定结果表明,撒马尔罕阿魏素E通过抑制脂多糖(LPS)诱导的Raw264.7细胞中一氧化氮(NO)的释放而具有抗炎特性,半数抑制浓度(IC)值为60.05±5.18μM。
