Plagiochianins A and B, Two ent-2,3-seco-Aromadendrane Derivatives from the Liverwort Plagiochila duthiana
2018
Two novel ent-aromadendrane derivatives, plagiochianin A (1), possessing an unprecedented 2,3:6,7-di-seco-6,8-cyclo-aromadendrane carbon scaffold conjugated with three cyclic acetals, and plagiochianin B (2), an exceptional pyridine type aromadendrane alkaloid, were isolated from the Chinese liverwort Plagiochila duthiana. Their structures were established by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis coupled with single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electronic circular dichroism calculations. A plausible biogenetic pathway of these two compounds is presented, and their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities are preliminarily tested using TLC-bioautographic assays.
