Abstract

Three new clerodane diterpene glycosides, tinospinosides A (1), B (2), and C (3) were isolated from the roots of Tinospora sagittata (Oliv.) Gagnep. Their structures were determined to be (2S,4aR,6aR,9R,10aS,10bS)-2-(3-furanyl)-9-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-1,4,4a,5,6,6a,9,10,10a,10b-decahydro-6a,10b-dimethyl-4-oxo-2H-naphtho[2,1-c]pyran-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1), (2S,4aS,6aR,9R,10aR,10bS)-2-(3-furanyl)-9-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-1,4,4a,5,6,6a,9,10,10a,10b-decahydro-4a-hydroxyl-6a,10b-dimethyl-4-oxo-2H-naphtho[2,1-c]pyran-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2) and (2S,4aR,6aR,9R,10aR,10bS)-2-(3-furanyl)-9-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-1,4,4a,5,6,6a,9,10,10a,10b-decahydro-4a-hydroxyl-6a,10b-dimethyl-4-oxo-2H-naphtho[2,1-c]pyran-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3), by various spectroscopic analyses, chemical reactions, and computer-assisted calculations. The inhibitory activities of NO production by these compounds and their chemical derivatives in lipopolysaccharide and TNFγ-activated macrophage-like cell line J774.1 were tested. Tinospin A, 12-epi-tinospin A, tinospinoside B, and tinospinoside C showed inhibitory activities of NO production with the IC₅₀ values of 162, 182, 290, and 218 µM, respectively.
