Abstract

In the present study, we report four new dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpenes (1-4), which were isolated from the leaves of Celastrus vulcanicola, in addition to five derivatives (5-9). Their stereostructures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques, X-ray studies, chemical correlations and biogenetic means. Compounds 1-9 and the previously reported sesquiterpenes 10-25 have been tested as potential antimycobacterial agents against sensitive and resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. 1α-Acetoxy-6β,9β-dibenzoyloxy-dihydro-β-agarofuran (20) exhibited antituberculosis activity against the MDR TB strain with a MIC value of 6.2 μg/mL, comparable to or better than isoniazid or rifampin, two of the best first-line drugs commonly used in the treatment of TB. The structure-activity relationship is discussed.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Agarofuran compounds may act as lead compounds in designing new, less toxic, highly selective anticholinesterase agents along with other positive therapeutic effects.

    “Studies conducted on the agarofuran compounds with a motive of developing some new AChE inhibitors have achieved great success in the past years and suggested that agarofuran compounds may act as lead compounds in the designing of new, less toxic, and highly selective anticholinesterase agents along with some other positive therapeutic effects [130,131].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
