Abstract
Bioassay-guided fractionation of Panopsis rubescens, using an assay to detect DNA polymerase β inhibition, led to the isolation of two new bis-5- alkylresorcinols (1 and 2), in addition to one known bis-5-alkylresorcinol (3). The structures of 1-3 were established as 1,3-dihydroxy-5-[14'-(3,5- dihydroxyphenyl)-cis-4'tetradecenyl]benzene (1), 1,3-dihydroxy-5-[14'- (3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-cis-7'-tetradecenyl]benzene (2), and 1,3-dihydroxy- 5-[14'-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)tetradecenyl]benzene (3), respectively, by spectroscopic and chemical analyses. Compounds 1-3 exhibited potent inhibition of calf thymus DNA polymerase β, with IC50 values of 7.5, 6.5, and 5.8 μM, respectively.
