Abstract

Hyperuralones C-H (1-6), six new 1,9-seco-bicyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (1,9-seco-BPAPs) derived from the normal polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,4,9-trione core, together with six known analogues, were isolated from the aerial parts of Hypericum uralum. The structures of 1-6 were elucidated on the basis of the interpretation of NMR and MS spectroscopic data. The structure of attenuatumione B, a known compound isolated from H. attenuatum, was revised to that of a 1,9-seco-BPAP by NMR spectroscopic analysis and previous biomimetic synthesis methods. The inhibitory activities of these isolates on acetylcholinesterase were tested, and compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate activities with IC50 values of 9.6 and 7.1 μM, respectively.
