Abstract

Two new phloroglucinols (7 and 10), along with 12 known derivatives (1-6, 8-9, and 11-14), were isolated from the roots of Dryopteris crassirhizoma (Aspiadaceae). Their chemical structures were elucidated by various spectroscopic methods (1H NMR,13C NMR, COSY, HMQC, and HMBC) and high-resolution mass spectrometry. All isolates (1-14) were tested for their inhibitory effects on melanin production in B16F10 murine melanoma cells. Norflavaspidic acid AB (8), norflavaspidic acid PB (9), and flavaspidic acid PB (12) inhibited melanin production with IC50 values of 181.3, 35.7, and 38.9 μM, respectively. Compound 9 was also shown to inhibit tyrosinase activity in a dose-dependent manner and melanogenesis with an IC50 value of 5.9 μM in B16F10 cells stimulated with 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX).
