J Nat Prod. 2022 Dec 23;85(12):2856-2864. doi: 10.1021/acs.jnatprod.2c00894. Epub 2022 Dec 14.

Abstract

From the whole plant of Daphne pedunculata, 12 macrocyclic daphnane diterpenoids, including six new compounds, daphnepedunins A-F (1-4, 9, and 10), were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by physiochemical and spectroscopic data analysis, the modified Mosher's method, and X-ray crystallography. The isolated compounds were evaluated for anti-HIV activity against HIV-1 infection in MT4 cells and showed significant anti-HIV activity with IC50 values of 36.3-994 nM. A consideration of the anti-HIV activity of these compounds provided further insight into the structure-activity relationships of macrocyclic daphnane diterpenoids.
