Prenylated acylphloroglucinols from the fruits of Hypericum patulum
摘要
Twenty-eight prenylated acylphloroglucinols, including the new hypulatones C–F (1–4), have been isolated from the fruits of Hypericum patulum and structurally characterized. Compound 1 represents a rare meroterpenoid formed through the addition of a prenylated acylphloroglucinol unit and a sesquiterpenoid moiety. Spirocyclic polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol 2 contains six chiral centers, and its relative configuration was established based on 1H–1H coupling constants, conformational analysis, and NOE correlations. The cytotoxic activities of all isolates against two human carcinoma cell lines (Huh-7 and Panc-1) were evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. Bioassay results indicated that compounds 6, 8, and 15 exhibited moderate antiproliferative activity.
