Abstract
Silica gel, octadecyl-silica(ODS), Sephadex LH-20, and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was performed to isolate nine cephalotaxine-type alkaloids from Cephalotaxus sinensis: 8-oxodeoxyharringtonine(1), 8-oxonordeoxyharringtonine(2), cephafortunine A(3), 8-oxocephalotaxine(4), deoxyharringtonine(5), acetylcephalotaxine(6), cephalotaxine(7), epicephalotaxine(8), and cephalotaxinone(9). Compounds 1 and 2 were identified for the first time and their structures were determined by high-resolution-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry(HR-ESI-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), and electronic circular dichroism(ECD). Compounds 1-3 and 5 significantly inhibited the transcription of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB), with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC_(50)) of(3.91±0.70),(2.99±0.45),(7.84±0.51), and(1.46±0.17) μmol·L~(-1), respectively.
