RESUMO
Fifteen alkaloid compounds were isolated from the 70% aqueous alcohol extract of Stephania tetrandra S. Moore by silica gel, reversed phase silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography. They were identified as tetrandraside A (1), (Z)-N-formyl-nornuciferin (2), (E)-N-formyl-nornuciferin (3), salutaridine (4), salutaridine N-oxide (5), (E)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-N-[2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-2 propenamide (6), dauriporphine (7), sinomenine (8), liriodenine (9), α-magnoflorine (10), (1S)-4'-β-glucosylcoclaurine (11), tetrandrine (12), fangchinoline (13), tetrandrine 2'-β-oxide (14), and tetrandrine 2'-α-oxide (15), respectively, by MS, NMR and single crystal diffraction. Among them, compound 1 is a new alkaloid glycoside. Compounds 2-11 were obtained from this plant for the first time. These compounds showed obvious cytotoxic activity against drug-resistant lung cancer cell line H1299, and compound 9 had the best activity, with an IC50 of 5.38 μmol·L-1.
RESUMO
This study was conducted to reveal genetic diversity among 100 Osmanthus fragrans cultivars using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Eight AFLP primer combinations produced a total of 443 polymorphic fragments with an average of 64 per primer combination. The percentage of polymorphic bands (86.81 percent), the resolving power (Rp) (32.71) and the PIC values (0.331) showed the efficiency of used primer combinations. The revealed AFLP makers were effective in distinguishing all the cultivars considered. Cluster analysis were performed to assess patterns of diversity among cultivars and showed the abundant genetic diversity. The overall distribution pattern of molecular variation suggested that 93.33 percent of the total genetic variance was within the identified groups and 6.67 percent of the genetic variation was among the identified groups. Our results showed that AFLP markers are useful for Osmanthus fragrans germplasm discrimination as well as for investigation of genetic diversity and variation. The information will facilitate germplasm identification, conservation and new cultivar development.
