Carbohydrates influence many essential biological events such as apoptosis, differentiation, tumor metastasis, cancer, neurobiology, immunology, development, host-pathogen interactions, diabetes, signal transduction, protein folding, and many other contexts. We now report on the structure determination of pregnane glycosides isolated from the aerial parts of Ceropegia fusca Bolle (Asclepiadaceae). The observation of cicatrizant, vulnerary and cytostatic activities in some humans and animals of Ceropegia fusca Bolle, a species endemic to the Canary Islands, encouraged us to begin a pharmacological study to determine their exact therapeutic properties. High resolution 1H-NMR spectra of pregnane glycosides very often display well-resolved signals that can be used as starting points in several selective NMR experiments to study scalar (J coupling), and dipolar (NOE) interactions. ROESY is especially suited for molecules such that ωτc ~ 1, where τc are the motional correlation times and ω is the angular frequency. In these cases the NOE is nearly zero, while the rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) is always positive and increases monotonically for increasing values of τc. The ROESY shows dipolar interactions cross peaks even in medium-sized molecules which are helpful in unambiguous assignment of all the interglycosidic linkages. Selective excitation was carried out using a double pulsed-field gradient spin-echo sequence (DPFGSE) in which 180° Gaussian pulses are sandwiched between sine shaped z-gradients. Scalar interactions were studied by homonuclear DPFGSE-COSY and DPFGSE-TOCSY experiments, while DPFGSE-ROESY was used to monitor the spatial environment of the selectively excited proton. Dipolar interactions between nuclei close in space can be detected by the 1D GROESY experiment, which is a one-dimensional counterpart of the 2D ROESY method. The C-12 and C-17 configurations were determined by ROESY experiments.
碳水化合物影响许多重要的生物事件,如细胞凋亡、分化、肿瘤转移、癌症、神经生物学、免疫学、发育、宿主-病原体相互作用、糖尿病、信号转导、蛋白质折叠等。我们现在报告从毛花苣苔(Asclepiadaceae)的地上部分分离出的孕烷糖苷的结构测定。对毛花苣苔(一种加那利群岛特有的物种)在人和动物中的愈伤、创面愈合和细胞生长抑制活性的观察,促使我们开始进行药理学研究,以确定其确切的治疗特性。孕烷糖苷的高分辨率1H-NMR光谱通常显示清晰分辨的信号,这些信号可以用作一些选择性NMR实验的起点,以研究标量(J耦合)和偶极(NOE)相互作用。ROESY特别适用于ωτc ~ 1的分子,其中τc是运动相关时间,ω是角频率。在这种情况下,NOE几乎为零,而旋转框架Overhauser效应光谱(ROESY)总是正值,并且随着τc值的增加而单调增加。ROESY显示偶极相互作用交叉峰,即使在中型分子中也是如此,这有助于明确分配所有糖苷间连接。选择性激发使用双脉冲场梯度自旋回波序列(DPFGSE)进行,其中180°高斯脉冲
