Chemical structure and bioactivity of cis-5'-oxopropylnicotine / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the chemical constituents and bioactivities of leaves of Nicotiana tabacum were investigated. Six compounds were isolated by means of various chromatographic techniques (silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, MCI GEL CHP-20P and HPLC), and their structures were elucidated as cis-5'-(2-oxopropyl)-nicotine (1), 3-O-(9, 12, 15-octadecatrienoyl)-glyceryl-β-D-galactppyranoside (2), (l'R, 2R, 5S, 10R)-2-(1', 2'-dihydroxy-l'-methylethyl)-6, 10-dimethylspiro [4, 5] dec-6-en-8-one (3), (l'S, 2R, 5S, l0R)-2-(1', 2'-dihydroxy-l'-methylethyl)-6, 10-dimethylspiro [4, 5] dec-6-en-8-one (4),2, 3-dihydroxypropyl-β-D-galactoside (5) and phenylethyl β-D-glucopyranoside (6) by extensive spectroscopic analyses (UV, IR, MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR). Among them, compound 1 is a new alkaloid, and compounds 2-6 are isolated for the first time from N. tabacum. Compounds 1 and 2 were assayed for agitating activities on transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), melatonin receptor 1 and 2 (MT1 and MT2), 1 showed agitating rate of 55.41% (1.53mmol•L⁻¹) on MT2 and 2 possessed agitating rate of 128.11% (0.59 mmol•L⁻¹) and 52.00% (0.73mmol•L⁻¹) on TRPV1 and MT1, respectively.
