ABSTRACT: The isolation and structure elucidation of six new prenylated acylphloroglucinols, faberiones A−F, from the whole plant of Hypericum faberi is reported. Faberiones A−D (1−4) share a rare styrene substituent and may be biosynthetically generated via further acylation of the acylphloroglucinols. By analyzing the MS and NMR data, the structures of the new isolates were established. Faberiones B (2) and C (3) showed moderate cytotoxicity against the pancreatic cell line (PANC-1) with IC50 values of 6.2 and 9.0 μM, respectively.

biosynthetic discussion, and cytotoxicity of the isolates are described herein. Faberione A (1) was purified as a yellow gum and exhibited a deprotonated molecular ion [M − H]− at m/z 431.2227 (calcd for C28H31O4, 431.2222) in the HRESIMS data. The UV absorptions [λmax 306 and 348 nm] were attributed to conjugated groups, and the IR absorptions implied the presence of hydroxyl (3424 cm−1) and carbonyl (1623 cm−1) functionalities. Its 1H NMR spectrum illustrated one monosubstituted benzene ring (δH7.73, 2H, d; 7.43, 2H, t; 7.32, 1H, t, J = 7.6 Hz), an isopropyl group (δH 1.35, 6H, d; 4.06, sept., J = 6.8 Hz), two olefinic protons (δH 5.04 and 5.34), three methyl singlets (δH1.59, 1.68, and 1.84), and three proton singlets (δH 7.01 and 6.68 and a deshielded proton at δH 14.26) (Table 1). The 13C NMR and HSQC spectra showed the presence of 28 carbon signals attributable to a phenyl group (δC 130.2, C-14; 124.1, C-15/19; 129.0, C-16/ 18; 128.1, C-17), an isobutyryl (δC 207.6, C-7; 38.9, C-8; and 19.0, C-9/10), a geranyl (δC 22.0, C-20; 121.5, C-21; 140.5, C22; 16.3, C-23; 39.7, C-24; 26.2, C-25; 123.6, C-26; 132.5, C27; 25.8, C-28; 17.8, C-29), eight sp2 resonances assignable to a phloroglucinol core (δC 101.1, C-1; 153.5, C-2; 111.8, C-3; 155.3, C-4; 108.3, C-5; and 163.2, C-6), and a ringlic group (δC 98.6 and 153.4) (Table 1). These observations implied that faberione A might be a geranylated acylphloroglucinol derivative.

Hypericum, comprising approximately 500 species, is subdivided into 36 taxonomic sections and is the largest genus of the Hypericaceae family.1 Chemical constituents of this genus involve abundant simple acylphloroglucinols, prenylated acylphloroglucinols, acylphloroglucinol-terpene adducts, xanthones, chromanes and chromenes, and dimeric acylphloroglucinols.2−5 Previous investigations have demonstrated that the structural types of compounds isolated from Hypericum species are diverse among different taxonomic sections.2 For example, dimeric acylphloroglucinols are present in plants of sections Brathys and Trigynobrathys,2 while polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols (PPAPs) widely exist in plants of the sections Hypericum, Sampsonia, and Ascyreia (including the previously studied species H. cohaerens, H. henryi, H. uralum, H. subsessile, H. hookerianum, and H. pseudohenryi).2,5,6 Particularly, filicinic acid-terpene adducts (meroterpenoids) are exclusively isolated from H. japonicum of the section Trigynobrathys.7 In order to further explore the types and bioactivities of metabolites from different sections of Hypericum species, H. faberi (section Hypericum), a species never researched before, was selected for this study. Nine prenylated acylphloroglucinols, including the new faberiones A−F (1−6), were characterized. Compounds 1−4 seem to possess a stilbene core, but their styrene substituent is more likely to be biosynthetically generated via a second acylation of the acylphloroglucinols, which enriched the chemical diversity of acylphloroglucinol-type metabolites. These findings may present a new clue to the chemotaxonomic research of Hypericum species.

The positions of the hydroxy groups were determined by the HMBC correlations.

The HMBC cross-peaks of the deshielded hydroxy proton (δH 14.26, HO-6)/C-1, C-5, and C-6, of a second hydroxy proton (δH 6.68, HO-4)/C-3, C-4, and C-5, and of a methine singlet at δH 7.01 (H-12)/C-2, C-3, and C-4 confirmed the phloroglucinol core (Figure 1). The HMBC cross-peak of HO6/C-7 located the acyl group at C-1 and indicated the presence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxy and the carbonyl group. The HMBC cross-peaks of H2-20 (δH 3.52)/C-4, C-5, and C-6 showed the location of the geranyl group at C-5. The HMBC cross-peaks of H-12 (δH 7.01)/C-13 (δC 153.4) and C-14 and H-15/19 (δH 7.73)/C-13 indicated a styrene fragment at C-3 (Figure 1). Finally, an oxygen bridge between C-2 and C-13 to form a furan ring was deduced by the downfield chemical shifts of C-2 and C-13 and the indices of hydrogen deficiency. The NOESY correlations of Me-23/H2-

20 confirmed the (21E)-configured double bond of the geranyl moiety. Thus, the structure of faberione A (1) was elucidated. The molecular formula of faberione B (2) was deduced as C29H34O4 based on its 13C NMR (Table 1) and (−)-HRESIMS data, which suggested that it had one more carbon atom than 1. The 1D and 2D NMR spectra of 2 and 1 implied the presence of a sec-butyl (s-Bu) group (C-8, δC 45.5; C-9, δC 16.6; C-10, δC 26.6; and C-11, δC 12.0) in 2 instead of an isopropyl group in 1. Based on the MS and NMR data of faberiones C (3) and D (4) (Table 1), they had the same carbon skeletons and configurations as those of 1 and 2, respectively. The increased molecular weight by 16 mass units (m/z 447.2187 for 3 and 461.2343 for 4, [M − H]−) observed in the HRESIMS and the 1H NMR spectra of 3 and 4 showing signals of a para-disubstituted benzene ring (for 3: δH 7.61, 2H, d; 6.90, 2H, d, J = 8.6 Hz; δC 123.5, C-14; 126.0, C-15/19; 116.1, C-16/18; 155.9, C-17) suggested the presence of a phydroxyphenyl moiety in their structures. Faberione E (5) was obtained as a yellow gum and showed a deprotonated molecular ion [M − H]− at m/z 465.3010 (calcd for C30H41O4, 465.3010) in the (−)-HREIMS data. The structure of compound 5 was elucidated to possess a similar geranylated acylphloroglucinol scaffold to empetrikarinen A,8 by detailed comparison of its MS and 1D and 2D NMR data. An extra (E)-geranyl group substituted at C-5 was evidenced by the HMBC cross-peaks of H2-21 (δH3.39)/C-4 (δC 157.4), C-5 (δC 105.2), and C-6 (δC 163.4). The NOESY cross-peak of Me-24/H2-21 proved the (22E)-configured double bond of the geranyl moiety (Figure 2).

the benzene rings in stilbenes.11 The two types of natural products arise from different biosynthetic pathways, and a secondary acylation of the acylphloroglucinols may lead to the formation of compounds 1−4 (Scheme 1). Detailed biosynthetic pathways to the formation of compounds 1−4, 6, and 7 are shown in Scheme 1. Compounds 1−9 were tested for their cytotoxic activities against four human tumor cell lines (ECA-109, PANC-1, BIU87, and BEL-7402) with Taxol as the positive control (IC50 values of 1.2, 3.5, 2.1, and 1.9 μM, respectively) using the MTT method (Biological Assay, Supporting Information).12 Compounds 2 and 3 showed moderate cytotoxicity against the pancreatic tumor cell line (PANC-1), with IC50 values of 6.2 and 9.0 μM, respectively.

The structure of faberione F (6) was deduced as C21H22O4 based on its (−)-HRESIMS ion with m/z 337.1454 [M − H]−. Compound 6 had the same backbone as that of 7,9 a prenylated chalcone also obtained in this study, by comparing the MS and NMR data (Table 3). These 1D NMR data suggested the Δ8(9) double bond in 7 was reduced (δC 45.4, C8, δH 3.44, 2H, t; δC 30.4, C-9, δH 3.04, 2H, t, J = 7.9 Hz) in 6. The COSY correlation for H2-8/H2-9 and the HMBC crosspeaks of H2-8/C-1 (δC 105.7) and C-10 (δC 141.5) and H2-9/ C-7 (δC 204.8) confirmed this deduction. Compounds 8 and 9 were isolated as two main constituents and have been reported from H. empetrifolium, and their structures were identified by matching their NMR and MS data.10 Acylphloroglucinols are widely found in plants of the Hypericaceae and Clusiaceae families,2−5 and most of the complex secondary metabolites, such as PPAPs and acylphloroglucinol-terpene adducts, are biosynthetically derived from further functionalization of the acylphloroglucinol core.5,6 Although the structures of faberiones A−D (1−4) appear to be stilbene derivatives, the substitution pattern of the acylphloroglucinol moiety of these compounds is distinct from any of

Fr. 1 (49.0 g) was subsequently refined by silica gel CC using ether/acetone (1:2 to 0:1, v/v) to afford Fr. 1-1 to Fr. 1-6. Fr. 1-2 (5.0 g) was further purified by separation over an Rp-C18 column (MeOH/H2O, 85−100%) to give Fr. 1-2-1 to Fr. 1-2-8.
