Abstract
An EtOH extract of the seeds of Alpinia blepharocalyx afforded 11 novel diarylheptanoids, named deoxycalyxin A (1), epicalyxin F (2), calyxin K (3), epicalyxin K (4), calyxin I (5), epicalyxin I (6), calyxin J (7), epicalyxin J (8), and calyxin L (9), an epimeric mixture of calyxin M (10) and epicalyxin M (11), and two unusual diarylheptanoid derivatives, named neocalyxins A (12) and B (13), together with four known calyxins, calyxins A (14), F (15), E (16), and G (17). Structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques including 2D NMR spectroscopy. All compounds were examined for cytotoxicity toward murine colon 26-L5 carcinoma and human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells. Diarylheptanoids 2, 3, and 5 were cytotoxic against both cell lines, while 4 and 6-8 were cytotoxic against human fibrosarcoma cells.
