Abstract

Approximately 17 compounds were isolated from a 60% EtOH aqueous extract of the roots and rhizomes of Clematis hexapetala Pall., including three new guaianolide sesquiterpenoids with 5/7/5-fused rings and 3S-configuration (1-3), five new prenylated tetra-substituted phenolic glycosides (4-8) with 6/6-fused 9H-benzopyran skeleton (5) and 6/7-fused 7,10-dihydro-benzoxepin skeleton (6-8), one new isoferulyl glucoside (9), two new furofuran lignan diglucosides (10-11), and six known compounds. The chemical structures of the new compounds were elucidated via spectroscopic data and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analyses in combination with a modified Mosher's method. The possible biosynthetic relationships of prenylated tetra-substituted phenols were postulated. In the in vitro assays, compound 16 exhibited moderate TNF-α secretion inhibitory activity with IC50 value of 3.419 μM. Compounds 14-16 displayed potent PTP1B enzymatic inhibitory activities with inhibition ratios of 48.30-86.00%. And compound 16 showed significant PTP1B enzymatic inhibition with IC50 value of 4.623 μM.
