New lipoxygenase-inhibiting constituents from Calligonum polygonoides

Chem Biodivers. 2007 Jul;4(7):1578-85. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.200790137.

Abstract

Calligonolides A (1) and B (2), two new butanolides, and a new steroidal ester, 3, have been isolated from the whole plant of Calligonum polygonoides, together with four known compounds, tetracosan-4-olide, beta-sitosterol and its glucoside, and ursolic acid. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and mass-spectrometric studies. Compounds 1-3 showed moderate inhibitory potential against lipoxygenase from soybean.
