Lanceolitols A1-A7 (1-7) and B1-B7 (9-15), two series of new myo-inositol-derived glycolipid analogues, in which a sugar moiety is replaced by a fatty acid esterified myo-inositol moiety, were isolated from the leaves of Solanum lanceolatum. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis (1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and HRFABMS), as well as chemical analysis. All the compounds showed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity against ear edema in mice produced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). In vitro enzyme inhibition studies showed that the mixture of lanceolitols A1-A7 inhibited by 58.56% phospholipase A2 from bee venom, while the mixture of lanceolitols B1-B7 was cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors (IC50 = 237 microM).
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.
