Four new steroid glycosides, withapubesides A–D (1–4), were isolated from the stems of Physalis pubescens L. Their structures were elucidated primarily by NMR experiments. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were deduced by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and ECD data analysis, respectively. Compound 3 has shown significant inhibitory activity against LPS-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 macrophages with an IC50 value of 12.8 μM and moderate cytostatic activity against human carcinoma cells (786-O, C4-2B, 22Rvl, A375 and A375S2) with IC50 values in the range of 3.05–9.47 μM. Molecular docking simulation demonstrated that 3 is bound in the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) active site heme pocket very well, which suggests that 3 might be a candidate for the development of iNOS inhibitors.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
