Phloroglucinol Derivatives from the Fruits of Eucalyptus globulus and Their Cytotoxic Activities

A new phloroglucinol derivative, named eucalyptin B (1), along with five related known compounds (2 – 6), was isolated from the fruits of Eucalyptus globulus. Their structures were elucidated by means of 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy, with the absolute configuration of 1 determined by electronic circu...

Description
Summary:A new phloroglucinol derivative, named eucalyptin B (1), along with five related known compounds (2 – 6), was isolated from the fruits of Eucalyptus globulus. Their structures were elucidated by means of 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy, with the absolute configuration of 1 determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. All isolated compounds (1 – 6) were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against lung (A549), breast (4T1), and skin (B16F10) cancer cell lines. On the basis of cell viability assay, the cytotoxic activity of eucalyptin B (1) was further confirmed by apoptosis assay. Additionally, after treatment with eucalyptin B (1), the apoptosis factor proteins (Bcl2 and Bax) and caspase‐3 levels in A549 cells were also determined by Western‐blot analysis. By cytotoxic assay, eucalyptin B (1) exhibited potent cytotoxicity against A549 cells with an IC50 value of 1.51 μm and induced concentration dependent apoptosis of up to 49%. Additionally, eucalyptin B (1) inhibited 5‐fold and increased 10‐folds in the level of Bcl2 and Bax, respectively. Furthermore, the 11‐fold increase in the level of caspase‐3 confirmed eucalyptin B (1) activated caspase dependent apoptosis pathway. In conclusion, the isolated compound eucalyptin B (1) has promising cytotoxic activity in tumor cells, especially in A549.
