Abstract
Velutabularins A–J, ten novel phragmalin-type limonoids, were isolated from the stem bark of Chukrasia tabularis var. velutina. In structures of 1– 6, the tetrahydrofuran ring from dehydration of OH-15 and OH-17, ring C and 13/14/18-cyclopropanyl moiety formed an unprecedented 8-oxatricyclo[4,3,1 1,6]decane. Compounds 7– 10 are derivates of 1– 6 opening the tetrahydrofuran ring. All of these compounds possess a novel C-16/C-30 δ-lactone ring, which were reported in phragmalins rarely. The structures of these novel compounds were elucidated based on extensive 1D and 2D spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configuration of 5 and 9 were determined by the calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) method. The anti-inflammatory activities of major compounds ( 2, 4, 5, 9) were evaluated for inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced nitric oxide (NO) production in macrophage (RAW264.7) cell line.
