Cajanusflavanols A-C, Three Pairs of Flavonostilbene Enantiomers from Cajanus cajan.

Author
Abstract
:

Three pairs of new flavonostilbene enantiomers, cajanusflavanols A-C (1-3), along with their putative biogenetic precursors 4-6, were isolated from Cajanus cajan. Compound 1 possesses an unprecedented carbon skeleton featuring a unique highly functionalized cyclopenta[1,2,3-de]isobenzopyran-1-one tricyclic core. Compounds 2 and 3 are the first examples of methylene-unit-linked flavonostilbenes. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, X-ray diffraction, and computational calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited significant in vitro anti-inflammatory activities.
