Abstract:
The methanol extract of
Pteris wallichiana was separated and purified by MCI gel, sephadex LH 20, flash C18 and silica gel column chromatography combined with semi-pre HPLC. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were identified by MS, IR, NMR, etc. Five sesquiterpene compounds were isolated from
Pteris wallichiana and identified as 6,7-tetrahydrofuran-(2
S, 3
S)-pterosin C-3-
O-
β-
D-(6′-acetyl)-Glu (
1), (2
S, 3
S)-pterosin C-3-
O-
β-
D-Glu (
2), (2
S)-pterosin A (
3) and (2
S)-13-hydroxyl-pterosin A (
4), (2
R, 3
S)-2-hydroxyl-pterosin C (
5). Compound
1 is a new sesquiterpene, compounds
3-
5 were isolated for the first time.
In vitro bioactivity assay showed that compound 1 was able to inhibit the proliferation of 4T1 and EMT6 cells, and possessed significant anti-triple-negative breast cancer bioactivity.
