New Sesterterpenoids from Salvia mirzayanii Rech.f. and Esfand. Stereochemical Characterization by Computational Electronic Circular Dichroism
Abstract
Phytochemical investigation on the acetone extract of Salvia mirzayanii Rech. f. and Esfand. afforded seven new isoprenoids including six new sesterterpenoids salvimirzacolide A-F (1–6), and one new nor-diterpenoid (7). Their structures were established by comprehensive spectroscopic and spectrometric data analysis (1D and 2D NMR, HRMS) and DP4+ NMR chemical shift probability calculation technique. Moreover, the absolute configuration of compounds was determined by using electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Evaluation of antiproliferative properties of compounds isolated against four human melanoma cancer cells displayed no cytotoxic activity at the concentration range used.
