Eucalyptusdimers
A–C, three dimeric phellandrene-derived
meroterpenoids featuring an unprecedented, fused skeleton between
two phellandrene and two acylphloroglucinol subunits, along with one
biogenetically related intermediate, (±)-eucalyprobusone A, were
isolated from the fruits of Eucalyptus robusta. Their
structures and absolute configurations were elucidated using spectroscopic
data, X-ray crystallography, and electronic circular dichroism analysis.
The isolated meroterpenoids were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory,
acetylcholinesterase inhibitory, and protein tyrosine phosphatase
1B inhibitory effects.
