OBJECTIVE
To study the anti-tumor metastatic constituents from Ardisia Crenata.
METHODS
Chemical constituents were isolated and purified by repeated column chromatography( silica gel, Toyopearl HW40C and preparative HPLC). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data analysis. The anti-tumor metastasis assay was applied to evaluate the isolated compounds of their activities.
RESULTS
Nine compounds(1-9) were isolated and their structures were identified by comparison of their spectral data with literature values as follows: 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furalclehyde(1), ethyl-beta-D-fructopyranoside(2), syringic acid(3), n-butyl-beta-D-fructofuranoside(4), n-butyl-alpha-D-fructofuranoside(5), methyl-alpha-D-fructofuranoside(6), (+)-bergenin(7), ardisiacrispins B(8), asperuloside acid(9). The isolated compounds(1-9) showed positive anti-tumor metastatic activities, and compounds 1, 5, and 8 showed significant anti-tumor metastatic activities. At the concentration of 0.8 mg x L(-1), compound 5 revealed the value of metastatic inhibition ratio on MDA-MB-231 was 93.8%.
CONCLUSIONS
Compounds 2-6 and 9 were isolated from this plant for the first time. compounds 1, 5 and 8 showed significant anti-tumor metastatic activities.
