Abstract

Five new compounds, including a rare phenyldihydronaphthalene lignanamide (1), an unusual hybrid-norlignan derivative (2), a rare cycloheptenone oxide derivative (3), one new acorane-type sesquiterpenoid (4), and one new guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid (5), together with seven known compounds (6-12), have been isolated from the rhizomes of Acorus tatarinowii. The structures of compounds 1-5 were determined by means of extensive spectroscopic methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is first report of a phenyldihydronaphthalene lignanamide and hybrid-norlignan and cycloheptenone oxide derivatives from the genus Acorus. In addition, compound 5 represents the first guaiane-type sesquiterpenoid with an epoxy group located between C-6 and C-9 from natural sources. Compounds 1-12 were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against five tumor cell lines. Among them, 2, 3, 5, and 10 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity with IC50 values of 2.11-9.23 µM.
