Type: article
Abstract: Six previously undescribed sulfur-containing amides were isolated from the leaves of Glycosmis pentaphylla. Their structures were delineated by HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and DP4+ analyses based on gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) NMR calculations. Compounds 1–4 belong to the type of methylsulfonylpropenoic acid amides. Through different cyclization pathways of geranyloxy, compounds 1 and 2 carry uncommon cyclohexane-1, 3-diol and cyclohex-3-en-1-ol moiety, respectively. Compound 3 is the oxidation product of the double bond Δ6′′(7′′) of geranyloxy. Compound 5 is elucidated as the type of methylsulfonylpropanoic acid amide. Compound 6 represents a rare sulfur-containing amide possessing a morpholin-3-one moiety. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative activities. Compound 4 significantly inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells with the IC50 value of 0.55 µM. Moreover, compounds 3 and 4 exhibited different anti-proliferative activities against HepG-2 with IC50 values of 11.52 and 9.41 µM, respectively.
