11 new sesquiterpene dimers, sarglabolides A-K (1-11), and five known ones were isolated from the seeds of Sarcandra glabra. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and chemical evidence. Sarglabolide A (1) was verified to exclusively possess a seventeen-membered macrocyclic ester ring formed by the scaffold of the sesquiterpene dimer and small organic acids, different from the eighteen-membered rings of the other reported analogues. The chiral small organic acid moieties were assigned to l-malic acid, d-malic acid, and d-tartaric acid based on the combination of spectroscopy, chemical derivatization and HPLC analysis. Dimers 1, 12 and 13 can significantly inhibit NO production in LPS-induced macrophages with IC50 values at 3.04, 4.65 and 2.33 μmol/L, respectively.
