| Structure Identification: | | J Nat Prod. 2009 Aug;72(8):1497-501. |  | Sesquiterpene lactones from the root tubers of Lindera aggregata.[Pubmed: 19639966] |  | Phytochemical investigation of the root tubers of Lindera aggregata resulted in the isolation of five new sesquiterpene lactones, linderagalactones A-E (1-5), along with eight known sesquiterpenoids, 3-eudesmene-1beta,11-diol, hydroxylindestenolide, strychnistenolide, hydroxyisogermafurenolide, atractylenolide III, linderane, neoLinderalactone, and Linderalactone. METHODS AND RESULTS:
 The structures and relative configurations of 1-5 were determined by spectroscopic methods, especially HRESIMS and 2D NMR techniques. The absolute configurations of 1-4 were defined by comparison of quantum chemical TDDFT calculated and experimental ECD spectra. Linderagalactone A (1) is a halogenated sesquiterpene lactone possessing a unique rearranged carbon skeleton. Linderagalactone E (5), linderane, hydroxylindestenolide, and Linderalactone showed hepatoprotective activity against H2O2-induced oxidative damages on HepG2 cells with EC(50) values of 67.5, 167.0, 42.4, and 98.0 microM, respectively.

 Compounds were isolated by colum chromatography, and the structures were identified by spectroscopic methods.
Six compounds were isolated and identified as mixture of 6-Acetyllindenanolide B-1 and B-2(I), dehydrolindestrenolide (II), hydroxylinderstrenolide (III), Linderalactone (IV), kameofero (V), beta-sitosterol (VI).
 CONCLUSIONS:
 These compounds were obtained from the leaves of Lindera aggregata for the first time.
