Abstract

Anovel norneolignan, tamariscinol T (1), and six known compounds, protocatechuic acid (2), vanillic acid (3), caffeic acid (4), amentoflavone (5), 2,3-dihydroamentoflavone (6), and 2″ ,3″ -dihydroamentoflavone (7), were isolated from Selaginella tamariscina. Their structures were elucidated using 1D/2D NMR, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), and infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The effects of the isolated compounds on soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) activity were then evaluated. Compounds 5- 7 potently inhibited sEH activity with IC50 values of 24.3 ± 1.6, 5.4 ± 0.1, and 11.9 ± 0.1 μM, respectively. In addition, analysis of the kinetics of compounds 5-7 revealed that their inhibitory actions were noncompetitive, with inhibition constants (Ki) of 24.4 ± 1.2, 8.6 ± 0.4, and 5.3 ± 0.6 μM, respectively.
