Lignans, Monoterpenes and γ-Pyrone Derivatives from Patrinia scabiosifolia with Cytotoxic Activity against HCT-116 Cells.

One new dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, patrinianeolignan I, two new monoterpenes, 6,7-dehydrodissectol A and patriniaol A, and a new γ-pyrone derivative, hydroxymaltol 3-O-(6'-O-trans-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside, along with fifteen known lignans, eight known monoterpenes, and two known γ-pyrone derivatives, were isolated from the whole plant of Patrinia scabiosifolia. Their structures were elucidated by 1D- and 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS analysis. The absolute configuration of patrinianeolignan I was confirmed by circular dichroism (CD) spectrum. All compounds were evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against HCT-116 cells. The results showed that compounds patriniaol A and eudesmin exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against HCT-116 cells with IC50 values of 42.23 μM and 41.92 μM, respectively.
