RESUMO
Many polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with fascinating chemical structures and intriguing biological activities have been identified as key to phytochemicals isolated from Garcinia, Hypericum, and related genera. In the present work, two chiral, tautomeric, highly-oxygenated polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols tethered with acyl and prenyl moieties on a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanetrione core were isolated from the 95% ethanolic extract of Garcinia gummi-gutta fruit. The structures of both compounds were elucidated based on the NMR and MS data with ambiguity in the exact position of the enol and keto functions at C-1 and C-3 of the core structure. The structures of both polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols were established as a structurally revised guttiferone J and the new iso-guttiferone J with the aid of gauge-independent atomic orbital NMR calculations, CP3 probability analyses, specific rotation calculations, and electronic circular dichroism calculations in combination with the experimental data. The structures of both compounds resemble hyperforin, a potent activator of the human pregnane X receptor. As expected, both compounds showed strong pregnane X receptor activation at 10 µM [7.1-fold (guttiferone J) and 5.0-fold (iso-guttiferone J)], explained by a molecular docking study, necessitating further in-depth investigation to substantiate the herb-drug interaction potential of G. gummi-gutta upon co-administration with pharmaceutical drugs.

Garciyunnanones A-R (1-18), eighteen undescribed caged polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, two undescribed biogenetic congeners (19-20), and nineteen known analogues (21-39), were isolated from the stem barks of Garcinia yunnanensis Hu. All of these isolates are decorated with a C-5 lavandulyl substituent. Their structures and absolute configurations were confirmed by HRESIMS, 1D & 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis, quantum chemical calculations of electronic circular dichroism data, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The X-ray crystallographic data of ten isolated caged compounds ascertained the absolute configuration of C-23 in the lavandulyl as S. The cytotoxicity on three cancer cell lines and the anti-nonalcoholic steatohepatitis activity of the isolates were tested. In a free fatty acid-induced L02 cell model, compounds 33 and 39 decreased intracellular lipid accumulation significantly.

Seven pairs of undescribed monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol enantiomers [(±)-hypermonanones A-G (1-7)], together with three known analogues, were identified from the whole plant of Hypericum monanthemum Hook. The structures of these compounds were determined by analyses of their UV, HRESIMS, 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic data, and NMR calculations. The absolute configurations of these compounds were assigned by ECD calculations after chiral HPLC separation. Diverse monoterpene moieties were fused at C-3/C-4 of the dearomatized acylphloroglucinol core, which led to 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-integrated angular or linear type 6/6/6 tricyclic skeletons in 1-7. Compounds (-)-2 and (+)-2 exhibited significant NO inhibitory activity against LPS induced RAW264.7 cells with the IC50 values of 7.07 ± 1.02 µM and 11.39 ± 0.24 µM, respectively.

Patumantanes A-D (1-4), four new seco-polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) were isolated from Hypericum patulum. Patumantane A (1) was an unprecedented 1,2-seco-homoadamantane-type PPAP bearing a new 3,7-dioxatetracyclo[7.7.0.01,6.111,15]heptadecane architecture based on a 6/7/5/6 ring system. Patumantane B (2) was a unique 1,9-seco-adamantane-type PPAP with a tricyclo[4.4.4.0.02,12]tridecane core formed by a 6/6/6 carbon skeleton, and the further breakage between C-5 and C-9 decorated patumantane C (3) with the 9-nor-adamantane skeleton. More importantly, compounds 2 and 3 exhibited moderate immunosuppressive activity on Con A-induced T-lymphocyte proliferation in vitro, with IC50 values of 5.6 ± 1.2 and 11.2 ± 1.2 µM, respectively.

Hyperforatums A-D (1-4), four new polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, together with 13 known compounds were isolated and identified from the aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum L. (St. John's wort). Their structures were confirmed with a comprehensive analysis comprising spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Hyperforatum A featured an unusual chromene-1,4-dione bicyclic system, and hyperforatums B and C were two rare monocyclic PPAPs with five-membered furanone cores. Compound 1 exhibited a moderate inhibition effect on NO production in BV-2 microglial cells stimulated by LPS.
