Anti-HIV-1 cycloartanes from leaves and twigs of Gardenia thailandica.
2004
Thailandiol (1), gardenolic acid A (2), quadrangularic acid E (3) and 3β-hydroxy-5α-cycloart-24(31)-en-28-oic acid (4) have been isolated from the leaves and twigs of Gardenia thailandica Tirveng (order: Rubiales; family: Rubiaceae). In addition, 5-hydroxy-7,2',3',4',5',6'-hexamethoxyflavone (5), 5,7-dihydroxy-2',3', 4',5',6'-pentamethoxyflavone (6), 5-hydroxy-7,2',3',4',5'-pentamethoxyflavone (7) and 5,7-dihydroxy-2',3,'4',5'-tetramethoxyflavone (8) were also isolated from the same source. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Crude extracts and compounds 1-4 displayed anti-HIV-1 activities as determined by using the ΔTat/Rev MC99 virus and 1A2 cell line system. The EC 50 values determined by the syncytium assay ranged from < 7.8 to 110 μg/mL. They also exhibited moderate to high activities in reverse transcriptase (RT) assay; the IC 50 values of compounds 1-4, ranged from < 22.5 to 156.8 μg/mL.
