Abstract:
In the present investigation, fourteen unprecedented podocarpane diterpenoids strophiolosas A-J, L-N and P (1-10, 12-14, 16), two new cleistanthane derivatives strophiolosas Q-R (17-18), two new dibenzopyroan-ones and one new tetralone strophiolosas S-U (19-21), were isolated from the whole plant of Strophioblachia glandulosa. The structures were elucidated via various spectroscopic analysis, quantum chemistry calculations, and X-ray diffraction. Bioactivity test indicated that compounds 5 and 17 possessed promising anti-cardiac hypertrophy effect in vitro (IC50 values of 16.50 and 9.67 μM). Additionally, through network pharmacology prediction, PARP1 may be a potential target of compound 17, mediating its anti-hypertrophic effects through multiple pathways.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.
