Abstract

Herein, we report an extensive phytochemical study on the whole plant of Drymaria cordata, which led to the isolation of ten new orbitides, named drymariamides A-J (1-10). Compounds 2, 3, and 5 incorporate rare residues of noncanonical amino acids of kynurenine (Kyn) or 3a-hydroxypyrroloindoline (HPI). Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analysis, advanced Marfey's method, X-ray diffraction, and electronic circular dichroism analysis. Compounds 1-10 exhibited antiadipogenic effects in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and the most potent compound 7 showed an EC50 value of 1.17 ± 0.19 μM.
