Abstract:
We reported the discovery of six novel coumarins, toddasirins A–F (
1 –
6 ), each endowed with modified isoprenyl or geranyl side chains, derived from the roots of
Toddalia asiatica. Comprehensive structural elucidation was achieved through multispectroscopic analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments, and advanced quantum mechanical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory activity of these compounds was assessed. Notably, compounds
1 –
3 and
6 demonstrated notable inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells, with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC
50) values of 3.22, 4.78, 8.90, and 4.31 μmol·L
−1, respectively.
