Isolation of Dineolignans, Saucernetin-7 and -8, with Nitric Oxide Inhibitory Activity and NMR assignment from Saururus chinensis

  • Published : 2006.12.30

Abstract

Two dineolignans (1,2) with nitric oxide inhibitory activities were isolated from Saururus chinensis (Saururaceae) using silica gel column chromatography. Although the structures, saucernetin-7 (1) and -8 (2), have been already reported, NMR assignment of the two compounds was completed aided by 2D-NMR spectroscopy including $^1H-^1H$ COSY, $^1H-^{13}C$ COSY, HMBC and NOESY NMR spectra. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant nitride oxide inhibitory activity in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells with $IC_{50}$ values of $11.3{\mu}M\;and\;7.1{\mu}M$, respectively.
