Compounds from Acorus tatarinowii: determination of absolute configuration by quantum computations and cAMP regulation activity

J Nat Prod. 2010 Jun 25;73(6):1160-3. doi: 10.1021/np900793e.

Abstract

A new cadinane-type sesquiterpenoid, tatarinowin A (1), two phenylpropanoids, tatarinoids A (2) and B (3), and a trinorlignan, tatarinoid C (4), along with 15 known compounds including two pairs of mixtures were isolated from the rhizome of Acorus tatarinowii. The absolute configurations of 1-4 were established by computation of specific rotation values. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cAMP regulatory activity by the AlphaScreen assay.
