Abstract:
This chemical constituents of the aqueous extract of leaves of
Cinnamomum longepaniculatum(Gamble) N. Chao ex H.W.Li were studied. Twenty-four compounds were isolated and purified by macroporous resin, PRP-512A resin, Sephadex LH-20, and etc. The structures of the compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods of UV, MS and NMR as 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-coumarin(
1), isofraxidin(
2), dimethylmatairesinol(
3), (+)-episesaminone(
4), horsfieldin(
5), (+)-epipinoresinol(
6), (+)-pinoresinol(
7), (+)-pinoresinol monomethyl ether(
8), (+)-de-O-methylmagnolin(

20), 2-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl) propan-1-one(
21), methyl syringate(
22), 1-(4-ethylphenyl)-1, 2-ethanediol(

p-hydroxyacetophenone(
24). Compounds
2,
5-6,
9-12,
14-16 and
18-24 were all isolated from
Cinnamomum for the first time. The results of anti-hepatocellular-activity showed that compounds
2,
5 and
13 had moderate inhibitory activity effects on human liver cancer(HepG2) cells, with the half inhibitory concentrations(IC
50) values of 33.43, 107.40, and 71.43 μmol/L, respectively. Among them, the anti-hepatocellular-activity of compound
5 was reported for the first time. Compounds
2 and
13 belong to coumarins and flavonoids, which have good application prospects in the research of anti-tumor drugs.
