Abstract

Rubriflordilactones A (1) and B (2), two novel highly unsaturated rearranged bisnortriterpenoids possessing a biosynthetically modified aromatic D-ring, were isolated from the leaves and stems of Schisandra rubriflora. Their structures were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods, including two-dimensional NMR techniques, and confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Compound 1 showed weak anti-HIV-1 activity, and compound 2 exhibited an EC50 value of 9.75 microg/mL (SI=12.39) against HIV-1 replication with low cytotoxicity.
