Abstract:
As a part of our ongoing search for neuroprotective compounds from natural products, two new iridoid glycosides, vibsansuspenside A-B (1-2), along with five known terpenoids (3-7), were isolated from the dry leaves of Viburnum odoratissimum. Their chemical structures were well determined by means of NMR spectroscopic data as well as HRESIMS analysis. All compounds were detected for their neuroprotective effects against H2O2-induced damage in human dopaminergic neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y). Among them, compound 3 displayed the most potent neuroprotective ability, and further investigation by Annexin V/PI and Western blot analysis demonstrated that compound 3 could protect SH-SY5Y cells from oxidative damage through inhibiting cell apoptosis.[Formula: see text].

Leaving Groups
In general, in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophile displaces a functional group, called the leaving group, from the substrate to give a substituted product. A leaving group departs the substrate molecule through heterolytic cleavage, taking the pair of electrons with it to become a relatively stable weak base in the form of an anion or a neutral molecule.
