RESUMEN
Six undescribed stilbene derivatives Reflexanbene DH (1-4, 6) and Reflexanbene J (5), as well as one known stilbene 3,5-dimethoxystilbene (7), were isolated from the dried roots of Lindera reflexa Hemsl. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated using spectroscopy and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) analysis. In cytotoxic assays, moderately inhibitory activities of Reflexanbene F (3) against MGC80-3 and A549 cell lines were observed, with IC50 values of 15.42 and 5.09 µM, respectively. The IC50 value of Reflexanbene E (2) on A549 cell lines was 19.78 µM. The isolated compounds were also tested for their inhibitory effect against LPS-induced NO and IL-6 production in RAW 264.7 cells. In particular, Reflexanbene J (5) and Reflexanbene H (6) showed significant inhibition of NO production in LPS-stimulated macrophage RAW 264.7 cells at the concentration of 20 µM. Furthermore, the expression of IL-6 protein in the LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells can also be significantly inhibited by different concentrations (5, 10 and 20 µM, p < 0.05 or p < 0.01) of compounds 1-7.

Four new 9',10'-dihydro-biphenanthrenes, including an unprecedented 1,2'-linked biphenanthrene, 4,7,3',5'-tetramethoxy-9',10'-dihydro(1,2'-biphenanthrene)-2,7'-diol (1), a new 1,3'-linked biphenanthrene, 4,7,7'-trimethoxy-9',10'-dihydro(1,3'-biphenanthrene)-2,2',5'-triol (2), and two new 1,1'-linked biphenanthrenes, 4,7,4'-trimethoxy-9',10'-dihydro(1,1'-biphenanthrene)-2,2',7'-triol (3) and 4,7,3',5'-tetramethoxy-9',10'-dihydro(1,1'-biphenanthrene)-2,2',7'-triol (4), as well as two known biphenanthrenes (5, 6), were isolated from a 95% ethanol extract of the fibrous roots of Bletilla striata. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods. Atropisomerism of these compounds was considered based on their chiral optical properties and potential energy surface scans at the ab initio HF/3-21G level, which revealed their racemic mixture form. Compounds 2-6 showed potent antibacterial activities against six Gram-positive bacterial strains.
