Abstract
Four undescribed guaiane sesquiterpenes, aquisinenoids I–L (2–5) and five known compounds were isolated from the resins of Aquilaria sinensis. Their structures were deduced based on spectroscopic data analysis, X-ray crystallography and ECD calculations. Biologically, compounds 1, 5, 6 and 9 showed anti-renal fibrosis activity, significantly reducing the levels of fibronectin, collagen I, and α-SMA. Compounds 2–4, 7 and 8 could reduce one or two of these proteins at non-toxic concentrations in TGF-β1 induced NRK-52E cells.
