Abstract

Two eudesmane-type sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the stem bark of Dysoxylum gaudichaudianum: 6α-hydroxy-eudesm-4(15)-en-1-one (1) and eudesm-4(15),7-dien-1β-ol (2). This study represents the first report of these compounds not only from D. gaudichaudianum but also from the genus Dysoxylum. The cytotoxic potential of two sesquiterpenoids was assessed against human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cells employing the Resazurin-based PrestoBlue assay. Using cisplatin as a positive control, compound 1 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity with an IC₅₀ of 28.04 µM, whereas compound 2 showed comparatively weaker activity, with an IC₅₀ of 58.37 µM. Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, including HR-ESI-MS, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR. Structure–activity relationship analysis indicates that hydroxylation at C-6 enhances cytotoxic activity, whereas the C-6/C-7 olefinic moiety reduces potency, likely due to increased molecular rigidity, highlighting key structural features for activity modulation in the eudesmane scaffold.

Abstract

Phenolic compounds are a major type of secondary metabolite found in plants. These compounds are synthesized through shikimic and phenylpropanoid pathways, resulting in the formation of numerous unique structures and bioactivities. In addition, a significant amount has been reported in nutmeg, an endemic plant of Indonesia, which has been widely used in traditional medicine. A previous study also revealed that ethyl acetate extract of the plant has notable cytotoxic effects against melanoma B16-F10. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to isolate and evaluate phenolic compounds in nutmeg for their potential to inhibit B16-F10 melanoma cancer cell growth. The seeds extract of nutmeg was separated by various chromatographic techniques to yield a total of five compounds, which were identified through spectroscopic analysis (HR-TOF-ESI-MS, IR, and NMR) as well as comparison with literature. The compounds 1-5 were identified as (+)-veraguensin (1), 3',4',5'-trimethoxycinnamyl alcohol (2), (+)-galbegin (3), (-)-polysphorin (4), and 7-methoxycoumarin (5). Cytotoxic effects were then assayed against B16-F10 melanoma cell lines using the Resazurin method. Furthermore, compound 1 displayed the highest cytotoxic activity, with an IC50 value of 112.71 µM.
