Datinolides E-I, five new withanolides with anti-inflammatory activity from the leaves of Datura inoxia Mill

Abstract

Five new withanolides, datinolides E-I (1-5), and three known withanolides (6-8) were separated from Datura inoxia Mill. leaves, and datinolide E (1) was the first withanolide with C-27 connected to a nitrogen-containing group. Their structures were clarified by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison with literature. The anti-inflammatory of isolated compounds against RAW264.7 cells was investigated by the CCK8 assay.

Keywords: Anti-inflammatory activities; Datura inoxia Mill.; Solanaceae; Withanolide.
