Biogenetically important quinonemethides and other triterpenoid constituents of Salacia reticulata (original) (raw)

Salacianone and salacianol, two triterpenes from Salacia beddomei

Phytochemistry, 1995

Two new lupane triterpenes, salacianone (lup-20(29)-en-3,21-dione) and salacianol (21fl-hydroxylup-20(29)-en-3-one), have been isolated from the hexane extract of the stem bark of Salacia beddomei together with the known compounds lup-20(29)-en-3-one, friedelan-3-one, 15~-hydroxyfriedelan-3-one, 15~-hydroxyfriedelane-l,3dione, pristimerin and sitosterol. Their structures have been elucidated with the aid of IR, NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques.

Caryopristimerin, the First Example of a Sesquiterpene-Triterpene Homo Diels‑Alder Adduct, and a New 29-nor-Friedelane from Roots of Salacia crassifolia

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2019

Two new compounds, caryopristimerin and 2α,3α,22β-trihydroxy-21-oxo-29-nor-friedelan-24-oic acid, were isolated from the hexane/ethyl ether extract of Salacia crassifolia roots. Caryopristimerin represents the first example of a homo Diels-Alder adduct of a sesquiterpene and a triterpene, and the new 29-nor-friedelane displays a highly oxygenated A ring with a carboxylic group at the unusual C-5 position. The new compounds were elucidated by infrared (IR), highresolution-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (HR-APCI-MS), 1D/2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Additionally, the known compounds 3-oxo-29-hydroxyfriedelane, pristimerin, tingenone and netzahualcoyonol are herein reported for the first time as constituents of S. crassifolia. Their structures were established by spectroscopic analysis.

PHYTOCHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF CONSTITUENTS FROM ROOTS OF Salacia crassifolia (CELASTRACEAE)

Química Nova, 2020

Recebido em 29/10/2019; aceito em 12/02/2020; publicado na web em 14/04/2020 Salacia crassifolia traditionally known as "Bacupari-do-Cerrado" is used to treat kidney problems, and as a healing agent for coughs and malaria. The phytochemical study of the S. crassifolia roots led to the isolation of thirteen compounds: abruslactone-A (1), urs-12-ene-3β,25,30-triol (2), carioprystimerin (3), β-sitosterol (4), pristimerin (5), dispermoquinone (6), netzahualcoyonol (7), 20-hydroxy-20-epi-tingenone (8), 6-oxo-pristimerol (9), 9β,10β-epoxi-3β-hydroxy-1βH,4βH,5βH,7βH,11αH-guaian-12,8β-olide (10), 3-O-β-D-glucosyl-β-sitosterol (11), 4`-O-methylepigalocatechin (12) and cerebroside (13). The chemical structures of 1-13 were determined by IR, 1D/2D NMR together with X-ray diffractometry. Compounds 2 and 10 are herein described for the first time. Extracts of S. crassifolia and compounds 3, 5, 8 and 9 were evaluated on acetylcholinesterase inhibition, in vitro cytotoxic activity and in vivo toxicity tests using Caenorhabditis elegans model. All tested compounds inhibited acetylcholinesterase, and compounds 3, 8 and 9 demonstrated a greater potential when compared to the standard eserine. The tested compounds showed low cytotoxicity against the THP-1, K562 and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines. None of the tested compounds and extracts were toxic against C. elegans since the larvae survival rate in L1 stage was higher than 90%.
