[structure: see text] Chlorahololides A(1) and B(2), two highly complex sesquiterpenoid dimers, were isolated from Chloranthus holostegius. Their structures and absolute configurations were established by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and CD. Chlorahololides A (1) and B (2) exhibited potent and selective inhibition on the delayed rectifier (IK) K+ current, with an IC50 of 10.9 and 18.6 microM, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
