Abstract
Eleven diarylpentanoid/norlignan glucosides, along with five other specialized metabolites, were isolated and characterized from the hydro-alcoholic extract of Hypoxis hemerocallidea corms. Hypoxhemerolosides A-F were found to be undescribed compounds. Curcapicycloside was isolated and identified for the first time in its original form, previously it was reported as a methylated derivative. In addition, (1S,2R)-1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-β-D-glucopyranoxy-3-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methoxypent-4-yn-2-ol and (1S,2R)-1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-ethoxy-5-(4-β-D-glucopyranoxy-3-hydroxyphenyl)pent-4-yn-2-ol were isolated and characterized as artifacts, generated during extraction/isolation procedures from possible 1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-5-(4-β-D-glucopyranoxy-3-hydroxyphenyl)pent-4-yne-1,2-diol. Structure elucidation was mainly achieved by the interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS data. The isolated compounds were screened for anti-inflammatory activity in terms of iNOS and NF-κB inhibition as well as for cytotoxicity. Hypoxhemerolosides C-E and obtuside A moderately inhibited nitric oxide production in LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7).
