Abstract

Phytochemical investigations on the fresh fruits of Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) A. C. Sm. have led to the isolation of fourteen undescribed 2,2'-cyclolignans named heilaohuguosus A-N, four undescribed aryltetrahydronaphthalene Lignans, heilaohuguosus O-R and one tetrahydrofuran lignan, heilaohuguosu S, with twenty-seven previously described lignan analogues. Their structures and absolute configurations of heilaohuguosus A-S were established by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D-NMR techniques and CD experiments. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their hepatoprotective activity against APAP-induced toxicity in HepG-2 cells, four 2,2'-cyclolignans, heilaohuguosus A and L, tiegusanin I and kadsuphilol I showed good hepatoprotective activities against APAP toxicity in HepG-2 cells with cell survival rates of 53.5 ± 1.7%, 55.2 ± 1.2%, 52.5 ± 2.4%, and 54.0 ± 2.2% (positive control bicyclol, 52.1 ± 1.3%) at 10 μM, respectively.
