Abstract:
Six previously undescribed cucurbitane glycosides, hemchinosides A-F (1-6), along with eleven ones were isolated from Hemsleya chinensis tubers. Compounds 1-6 were characterized by the presence of one to three glucoses substitutions at C-26, and sometimes one glucose at C-3. The structures were confirmed by comprehensive UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS and NMR analyses, and absolute configurations were determined by a comparison of calculated and experimental ECD after acid-hydrolysis. The anti-inflammatory effects of the isolated compounds were further evaluated on lipopolysaccharides-induced RAW 264.7 cells.
