Abstract

Eurysoloids A (1) and B (2), two novel diastereomeric sesterterpenoids possessing a pentacyclic 5/6/5/10/5 framework with an unusual macrocyclic ether system, were isolated from Eurysolen gracilis Prain. Their structures were unambiguously determined by spectroscopic, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and DP4+ analyses. A plausible biosynthetic pathway for compounds 1 and 2 was proposed. Both compounds exhibited immunosuppressive activity via inhibiting the production of cytokine IFN-γ of T cells, and compound 2 inhibited adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
