Cipadonoids B–G, six new limonoids from Cipadessa cinerascens
摘要:
Six new rings B,D-seco-type limonoids, cipadonoids B-G (1-6) were isolated from leaves of Cipadessa cinerascens. Their structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods, and that of 1 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The absolute configuration of compounds (2-6), a class of cipadesin-type limonoids, was determined by CD exciton chirality method and chemical means, representing the first report of assignment of absolute configuration of such type compounds; a biosynthetic pathway of 2-6 was proposed and confirmed by chemical correlation and computational result. Compound 1 showed weak in vitro activity at the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
