Isolation, X-ray crystal structure and theoretical calculations of the new compound 8-Eepicordatin and identification of others terpenes and steroids from the bark and leaves of Croton palanostigma Klotzsch

Estudos fitoquímicos com as cascas do caule e com as folhas de Croton palanostigma Klotzsch (Euphorbiaceae) levaram ao isolamento do novo diterpeno clerodânico 8-epicordatina (2), além de éster metílico do ácido 12-oxohardwickiico (3), aparisthmano, cordatina (1), ácido ent-trachiloban-18-óico, óxido de ent-13-epimanoila, óxido de ent-3-oxo-13-epimanoila, óxido de ent-3β-hidroxi-13-epimanoila, sitosterol, estigmasterol, estigmastan-3-ona, 6β-hidroxiestigmast-4-en-3-ona, 6β-hidroxiestigmasta-4,22-dien-3-ona, estigmast-4-en-3-ona, estigmasta-4,22-dien-3-ona, ácido 3-O-acetilaleuritolico, 11α-hidroxiurs-12-en-3-ona, α-amirenona, 24-metilenocicloartenona e lupenona. Estas substâncias foram isoladas através de procedimentos fitoquímicos usuais e suas estruturas foram deduzidas por estudos espectroscópicos, incluindo experimentos em 2D. Adicionalmente, a estrutura cristalina de 8-epicordatina (2) foi determinada por difração de raios-X. Cálculos teóricos de RMN ao nível B3PW91/DGDZVP foram usados para confirmação dos assinalamentos dos deslocamentos químicos dos hidrogênios H-7α e H-7β de 8-epicordatina.

ABSTRACT: Phytochemical studies of the bark and leaves of Croton palanostigma Klotzsch (Euphorbiaceae) led to the isolation of a new clerodane diterpene, 8-epicordatin (2), in addition to 12-oxohardwickiic acid methyl ester (3), aparisthman, cordatin (1), ent-trachyloban-18-oic acid, ent-13-epimanoyl oxide, ent-3-oxo-13-epimanoyl oxide, ent-3β-hydroxy-13-epimanoyl oxide, sitosterol, stigmasterol, stigmastan-3-one, 6β-hydroxystigmast-4-en-3-one, 6β-hydroxystigmasta-4,22-dien-3-one, stigmast-4-en-3-one, stigmasta-4,22-dien-3-one, 3-O-acetylaleuritolic acid, 11α-hydroxyurs-12-en-3-one, α-amyrenone, 24-methylenecycloartenone and lupenone. These compounds were isolated using typical phytochemical procedures and the structures were deduced from spectroscopic studies, including 2D NMR experiments. In addition, the crystalline structure of 8-epicordatin (2) was determined by X-ray diffraction. NMR theoretical calculations at the B3PW91/DGDZVP level were used to confirm the assignment of the chemical shifts of the H-7α and H-7β hydrogens of 8-epicordatin.
