Bioactive triterpenoids from the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica as the natural PDE4 inhibitors
Natural Product Research(2017)
Abstract
The ethanolic extract of the leaves of Eriobotrya japonica exhibited inhibitory activity against phosphodiesterase-4D (PDE4D), which is a therapeutic target of inflammatory disease. Subsequent bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation of a new triterpene (1), together with seven known triterpenoids, methyl corosolate (2), ursolic acid (3), oleanolic acid (4), methyl maslinate (5), α-amyin (6), 3β,19α,23-trihydroxy-urs-12-ene (7) and uvaol (8). The structure of compound 1 was established as 3β-hydroxyl-21β-acetoxyl-urs-12-en-28-carboxylate on the basis of interpretation of its 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectroscopic data. The bioassay results verified compounds 2, 3 and 8 inhibited PDE4D2 effectively with the IC50 values of 3.06, 2.18 and 5.17 μM, respectively, which may provide a novel mechanism for the anti-inflammatory activity of the leaves of E.japonica.
