Rhamnus purshianus D. C., 10-Hydroxyaloins A/B, Oxanthrone Glucosyls, Quinonoids, AnthranoidsThe absolute configurations of the diastereomeric 10-hydroxyaloins, which may be regarded as parent structures for other naturally occurring oxanthrone-C-glucosyls, have been established as 10R, 16 R (A) and 10 S, 16 R (B) by an X-ray structure analysis of the A-octaacetyl derivative (C 16 is the anomeric glucosyl carbon atom). The determination was confirmed by CD spectroscopic comparison with the structural analogues aloins A and B, which should prove useful for making future configurational assignments within this class of compounds. A conformational analysis by the use of a molecular modeling method based on force-field calculations reveals the presence of an extra- and an intra-form, the extra-form of which is energetically preferred.

A conformational analysis of squalene encapsulated in squalene-hopene cyclase has been performed based on Schulz's X-ray structure and our DFT calculations. Based on this analysis it is concluded that the formation of rings A-D in the cyclization of squalene are likely to be a concerted but highly asynchronous reaction.

The cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme is an important target for drug discovery and development of novel anti-inflammatory agents. Selective COX-2 inhibitors have the advantage of reduced side-effects, which result from COX-1 inhibition that is usually observed with nonselective COX inhibitors. In this study, the design and synthesis of a new series of 7-methoxy indolizines as bioisostere indomethacin analogues (5a–e) were carried out and evaluated for COX-2 enzyme inhibition. All the compounds showed activity in micromolar ranges, and the compound diethyl 3-(4-cyanobenzoyl)-7-methoxyindolizine-1,2-dicarboxylate (5a) emerged as a promising COX-2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 5.84 µM, as compared to indomethacin (IC50 = 6.84 µM). The molecular modeling study of indolizines indicated that hydrophobic interactions were the major contribution to COX-2 inhibition. The title compound diethyl 3-(4-bromobenzoyl)-7-methoxyindolizine-1,2-dicarboxylate (5c) was subjected for single-crystal X-ray studies, Hirshfeld surface analysis, and energy framework calculations. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the molecule (5c) crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P 21/n with a = 12.0497(6)Å, b = 17.8324(10)Å, c = 19.6052(11)Å, α = 90.000°, β = 100.372(1)°, γ = 90.000°, and V = 4143.8(4)Å3. In addition, with the help of Crystal Explorer software program using the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) basis set, the theoretical calculation of the interaction and graphical representation of energy value was measured in the form of the energy framework in terms of coulombic, dispersion, and total energy.
