Chemistry, bioactivity and geographical diversity of steroidal alkaloids from the Liliaceae family, 23
Chemical investigation of Fritillaria verticillata Willd. led to the isolation of eight novel isosteroidal alkaloids (1—4, 6, 9—11) and four known alkaloids (5, 7—8, 12), including three unprecedented cis‐fused D/E (13α, 17α) cevanine alkaloids (1—3), one rarely cis‐fused E/F (22α) cevanine alkaloid (6), and one uncommon 5β‐jervine‐type isosteroidal alkaloid featuring a cis‐fused A/B ring moiety (11). In order to establish the structures of 1, the calculated NMR with DP4+ evaluation was applied from the plausible structure candidates. The characteristic proton signals for distinguishing D/E conjunction of cevanine alkaloids were summarized. In addition, some proton and carbon signals α to nitrogen in 6 and 7 are unobservable due to the 14N nuclear quadrupolar relaxation, based on the NMR experiments in different solvents, calculated NMR method and X‐ray technology, their structures were determined. The NMR characteristics of cevanine alkaloids to distinguish orientation of long‐pair on nitrogen atom with β‐hydroxyl at C‐20 were also concluded. The anti‐inflammatory effects of compounds 1 and 4 were evaluated in LPS‐activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Compound 4 decreased LPS‐induced releases of IL‐1β and IL‐17α in RAW264.7 cells in a dose‐dependent manner. Further mechanistic study revealed that 4 suppressed the phosphorylation of IκBα and p65 subunit to regulate the NF‐κB signaling pathway.
