Three Types of Cytotoxic Natural Caged-Scaffolds: Pure Enantiomers or Partial Racemates
摘要:
Two rare new natural products, the neocaged-xanthone pruniflorone T (1) and the rearranged caged-xanthone pruniflorone U (3), and the known caged-xanthone cochinchnione C (2) were isolated from the roots of Cratoxylum formosum ssp. pruniflorum. The unique structures of 1-3 were determined by analysis of NMR and X-ray diffraction data. The X-ray data of 1-3 revealed that they all exist with both enantiomers in their crystal packing. Separation of 1-3 by chiral HPLC led to the isolation of three pairs of enantiomers, (-)-1/(+)-1, (-)-2/(+)-2, and (-)-3/(+)-3, and their absolute configurations were determined by analysis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ECD spectroscopic data. A 1:1 mixture of 1 and 3 showed potent in vitro cytotoxicity against an MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line with an IC50 value of 0.11 mu g/mL.
