Abstract

:
3'-Deoxy-4-O-methylepisappanol, a new 3-benzylchroman derivative, was isolated from Sappan Lignum, together with thirteen known chemical compounds identified as protosappanin A, sappanchalcone, sappanone B, palmitic acid, (+)-(8S,8'S)-bisdihydrosiringenin, brazilein, 3-deoxysappanchalcone, (+)-lyoniresinol, 3-deoxy-sappanone B, protosappanin B, isoprotosappanin B, 3'-O-methylbrazilin and brazilin, respectively. Among these known compounds, this is the first time that (+)-(8S,8'S)-bis-dihydrosiringenin was obtained from the family Caesalpiniaceae.

Introduction

Sappan Lignum, the dried heartwood of Caesalpinia sappan L., has not only been used as a natural dyestuff for a long time [1, 2], but also a Traditional Chinese Medicine for activating blood circulation and removing stasis [3]. In recent years, the extract of Sappan Lignum has been found to be a potential immunosuppressive agent [4, 5]. The reported main phenolic compounds in Sappan Lignum were divided into to four structural sub-types: i.e. brazilin, chalcone, protosappanin and homisoflavonoid. Among the protosappanin derivatives, such as protosappanin B and isoprotosappanin B, 10-O-methy-protosappanin B and 10-O-methylisoprotosappanin B, as well as protosappanin E1 and protosappanin E2 occur as pairs of epimers. Meanwhile, the homisoflavonoid epimers sappanol and episappanol, 4-O-methylsappanol and 4-O-methylepisappanol, 3'-O-methylsappanol and 3'-O-methylepisappanol were successively isolated [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. In continuation of our exploration of the chemical diversity of Sappan Lignum we report in this paper the isolation and identification of the new 3-benzylchroman derivative 3'-deoxy-4-O-methylepisappanol (4), and thirteen known compounds: protosappanin A (1), sappanchalcone (2), sappanone B (3), palmitic acid (5), (+)-(8S,8'S)-bisdihydrosiringenin (6), brazilein (7), 3-deoxysappanchalcone (8), (+)-lyoniresinol (9), 3-deoxysappanone B (10), protosappanin B (11), isoprotosappanin B (12), 3'-O-methylbrazilin (13) and brazilin (14) (Figure 1).

Results and Discussion

Compound 4 was obtained (from MeOH) as a colorless powder with the molecular formula C17H18O5, according to the HREIMS data. Its IR spectrum exhibited bands at 3450 (hydroxyl), 1621 and 1511 cm-1 (arom. ring). The 1H-NMR peaks at δH 7.16 (2H) and 6.77 (2H), and the 13C-NMR ones at δC 128.9 (s), 133.8 (d), 116.6 (d) and 158.1 (s), indicated the presence of one 1,4-disubsituted aromatic ring. A 1,2,4-trisubstituted aromatic ring was also infered from the presence of δH 6.96 (1H), 6.34 (1H) and 6.28 (1H) in the 1H-NMR spectra, and δC 104.5 (d), 108.9 (d), 113.6 (s), 134.3 (d), 157.2 (s) and 160.5 (s) in the 13C-NMR spectra (Table 1).

The absolute configuration at the C-3 and C-4 positions of 4 was elucidated by comparison of its 1H-NMR data and specific rotation with those of 4-O-methylsappanol and 4-O-methylepisappanol [13, 23]. Thus, the peaks at δH 3.82 and 4.10 due to the H-2 of 4 were in agreement with those of 4-O-methylepisappanol, while the specific rotation of 4 was – 21.0. Consequently, the configuration and structure of 4 was elucidated to be (3R,4R)-3,7-dihydroxy-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-4-methoxychroman, and this compounds has been named 3'-deoxy-4-O-methylepisappanol.

Conclusions

3'-Deoxy-4-O-methylepisappanol (4), the epimer of 3'-deoxy-4-O-methylsappanol, is a new compound. (+)-(8S,8'S)-Bisdihydrosiringenin (6) has been observed in the family Caesalpiniaceae for the first time. Meanwhile, the epimers of protosappanin B (11) and isoprotosappanin B (12) have also also obtained from Sappan Lignum. Besides four main structural sub-types of brazilin, chalcone, protosappanin and homisoflavonoid, phenylpropanoids, including (+)-(8S,8'S)-bisdihydrosiringenin (6), (+)-lyoniresinol (9), etc., also form another structural sub-type within Sappan Lignum.

Experimental

General

Melting points were determined using a SGW X-4 micromelting point meter. Optical rotations were measured on a Perkin Elmer 341 polarimeter. UV absorption spectra were measured on a TU-1900 UV spectrophotometer. IR spectra were recorded on an Analect RFX-65A spectrometer. The NMR spectra were measured on a Bruker Avance 500 spectrometer (500 MHz for 1H and 125 MHz for 13C spectra), using TMS as internal standard. HREIMS and EI-MS were recorded on MAT95XP and DSQ spectrometer, respectively. Silica gel (200–300 mesh) and thin layer chromatographic plates were purchased from Qingdao Marine Chemistry Co. Ltd. (Qingdao, China). All analytical grade solvents used were obtained from Tianjin Fuyu Fine Chemical Co. Ltd. (Tianjin, China).

Plant Material

Sappan Lignum was bought from Guangdong Medical Material Company in 2006, and authenticated by Professor Gang Hao from South China Agricultural University. The voucher specimen (Huang, 007) was deposited at Tropical Medicine Institute, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.

Extraction and Isolation

The air-dried and chipped Sappan Lignum (10 Kg) was extracted repeatedly three times under reflux with 95% EtOH. The combined EtOH extract was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield a red residue. After defatting by petroleum ether (60~90 °C), the residue was dissolved in water, then extracted successively with EtOAc and n-BuOH, respectively. The combined n-BuOH mixture (150 g) was subjected to silica gel (200~300 mesh) column, and eluted with CHCl3-MeOH gradient solvents. Combination of similar fractions on the basis of TLC analysis afforded fractions 1 and 2 at 97:3 and 93:7 (v/v), respectively. Fraction 1 (60 g) was chromatographed on a silica gel column eluted with petroleum ether-acetone (80:20, 70:30 and 60:40, v/v) to yield compounds 1 (500 mg), 2 (1 g), 3 (15 mg), 4 (3 mg), 5 (300 mg); 8 (20 mg), 10 (10 mg) and 13 (15 mg), respectively. Fraction 2 (50 g) was separated by repeated chromatography eluting with CHCl3-MeOH gradients of 93:7, 90:10 and 85:15 (v/v), respectively, to give compounds 6 (15 mg), 7 (1.5 g) and 9 (10 mg), 11 and 12 (100 mg).
