Natural anti-HIV agents—part I: (+)-demethoxyepiexcelsin and verticillatol from Litsea verticillata
摘要:
The eudesmane sesquiterpenoid, verticillatol (1), as well as the lignan, (+)-5'-demethoxyepiexcelsin (2), and a known lignan, epiexcelsin (3), were isolated from Litsea verticillata Hance. Lignan 2 showed moderate anti-HIV activity with an IC50 value of 16.4 mug/ml (42.7 muM), while the known lignan 3 was inactive up to a concentration of 20 mug/ml (48.3 muM). Compound I demonstrated weak activity with an IC50 value of 34.5 mug/ml (144.7 muM) while being devoid of cytotoxicity at 20 mug/ml. The structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and the absolute configuration of the new sesquiterpenoid was determined by the generation of Mosher esters.
