(1-9), including six new ones (2-5, 7 and 9), were isolated from the EtOAc extract of G. elata. Five compounds 1, 3, 4, 6 and 8 were found to activate melatonin receptors. Especially, compound 1 showed agonistic effects on MT1 and MT2 receptors with EC50 values of 237 and 244 μM. For better understanding their structure-activity relationships (SARs), ten polybenzyl analogs were further synthesized and
天麻是一种著名的中草药,具有药用和食用价值。在这项研究中,从G. elata的EtOAc提取物中分离出九种多苄基(1-9),包括六个新的(2-5、7和9)。发现五个化合物1、3、4、6和8可以激活褪黑激素受体。尤其是,化合物1对MT1和MT2受体表现出激动作用,EC50值为237和244μM。为了更好地理解它们的结构-活性关系(SAR),进一步合成了十种聚苄基类似物,并测定了它们对褪黑激素受体的活性。SAR的初步研究表明,两个对羟基基团是维持活性的关键药效团。分子对接模拟证明,化合物1通过与Phe 118,Gly 121,His 208,
