Five new compounds, 16,23,29-trihydroxy-3-oxo-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (1), 4,23,29-trihydroxy-3,4-seco-olean-12-en-3-oate-28-oic acid (2), 3 beta,6 beta,23-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid 28-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), 3-O-[2,3-di-O-acetyl-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl]hederagenin 28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 -> 4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 -> 6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), and 3-O-[3,4-di-O-acetyl-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl]hederagenin 28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 -> 4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 -> 6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5), as well as 10 known compounds (6-15), were isolated from the stem bark of Kalopanax pictus. Compounds 1-5 and 7-14 inhibited TNF alpha-induced NF-kappa B transcriptional activity in HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with IC(50) values ranging from 0.6 to 16.4 mu M. Furthermore, the transcriptional inhibitory function of these compounds was confirmed on the basis of decreases in COX-2 and iNOS gene expression in HepG2 cells. The structure activity relationship of the compounds with respect to anti-inflammatory activity is also discussed.

Three new compounds, 3 beta,6 beta,23-trihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid 3-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (1), kalopanaxsaponin L (2), and kalopanaxsaponin M (13), as well as eleven known compounds (3-12 and 14), were isolated from the stem bark of Kalopanax pictus. Their structures were determined on the basis of extentive spectroscopic analyses and acid hydrolysis. The cytotoxicity of the compounds was evaluated in three human carcinoma cell lines, including HL-60, HCT-116, and MCF-7. Compounds 1, 5-8, 10, and 11 exhibited significantly cytotoxic activity toward HL-60 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 0.1 to 6.9 mu M. Compounds 4-7 and 14 showed significant cytotoxicity against HCT-116 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 0.4 to 9.2 mu M. Remarkably, the cytotoxic activities of compounds 5-7 against HCT-116 cells were greater than that of the anticancer chemotherapy drug, mitoxantrone (IC50 = 3.7 mu M). Compounds 1, 3, 5, and 14 were cytotoxic toward MCF-7 cells with IC50 values in a range of 7.4-14.5 mu M. (C) 2011 Phytochemical Society of Europe. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Application of Relay C−H Oxidation Logic to Polyhydroxylated Oleanane Triterpenoids
Although clinical applications of abundant feedstock triterpenoids such as oleanolic acid are limited because of poor solubility and bioavailability, synthetic access to higher hydroxylated oleanane terpenoids is challenging. We now report the use of relay C−H oxidation logic to mimic the processes carried out in nature by P450 monooxygenase enzymes. To this end, we used the C-23-OH as natural handle
