Chlojapolactone A, an unprecedented 1,3-dioxolane linked-lindenane sesquiterpenoid dimer from Chloranthus japonicus†
Abstract
Chlojapolactone A (1), a novel lindenane sesquiterpenoid dimer with an unprecedented 1,3-dioxolane linkage, was isolated from Chloranthus japonicus. Its structure and absolute configuration was elucidated by combined spectral, computational, and chemical approaches. Compound 1 exhibited potential inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells.
