Further Study on Chemical Constituents of Parnassia wightiana Wall: Four New Dihydro-beta-agarofuran Sesquiterpene Polyesters
Four new (1-4), along with six known (5-10) dihydro--agarofuran sesquiterpene polyesters were isolated from the whole plants of Parnassia wightiana. The new compounds were structurally elucidated through spectroscopic analysis including UV (Ultraviolet Spectrum), IR (Infrared Spectrum), H-1-NMR ((1)Hydrogen-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), C-13-NMR ((13)Carbon-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), DEPT (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer), H-1-H-1 COSY (H-1-H-1 Correlation Spectroscopy), HSQC (Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence), HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation), NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy) and HR-MS (High Resolution Mass Specttrum) and their absolute configurations were proposed by comparison of NOESY spectra and specific optical rotations with those of known compounds and biosynthesis grounds. Compound 2 is the first sesquiterpene alkaloid isolated from this plant. New compounds 1-4 exhibited some cytotoxic activities against NB4, MKN-45 and MCF-7 cells at 20 M and of which 4 showed the highest activity against NB4 and MKN-45 cells with inhibition rates of 85.6% and 30.5%, respectively.
