Abstract

(+)-(2S,3S)- and (-)-(2R,3R)-Oxybaphuslactam A glucosides are two undescribed benzofuran ε-caprolactams featuring a unique 7/6/5 fused tricyclic framework with p-glucosyl-O-phenyl unit. They were isolated from the root of Tibetan medicinal plant Oxybaphus himalaicus along with an undescribed sucrose ester, 3-O-feruloyl sucrose, an undescribed lignan glucoside, (7'R,8R,8'S)-3,3',5,5'-tetramethoxy-7',9-epoxylignan-9'-ol-7-one 4,4'-di-O-β--glucopyranoside and ten known amides and phenylpropanoid derivatives. Based on the spectral analyses, X-ray crystallography and comparison of experimental and TD-DFT calculated ECD spectra, the structures of these compounds were determined. The anti-inflammatory assay showed the undescribed compounds had significant inhibitory effects on the formation of NO, TNF-α and IL-6, which were evaluated by LPS induced RAW 264.7 cell model.
