Isofraxetin-6-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, identified from traditional medicinal herbal Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, has been demonstrated to be a natural neuroinflammatory inhibitor. In order to obtain more derivatives with potential anti-neuroinflammatory effects, biotransformation was carried out. According to the characteristics of coumarin skeleton, suspension cultures of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels callus (A. sinensis callus) were employed because of the presence of diverse phenylpropanoids biosynthetic enzymes. As a result, 15 products were yielded from the suspension cultures, including a new coumarin: 8′-dehydroxymethyl cleomiscosin A (1), together with 14 known compounds. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Furthermore, the biotransformed pathways were discussed. Among them, compound 13 was transformed from isofraxetin-6-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, while compounds 1–6, 10–12, 14–15 were derived from the culture medium stimulated by the substrate. The biotransformation processes include hydroxylation, oxidation and esterification. Furthermore, their inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated nitric oxide (NO) production were evaluated in BV2 microglial cells. It is worth noting that, 1, 1′-methanediylbis(4-methoxybenzene) (3), obtucarbamates A (5), 2-nonyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide (10) and 1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (11) exhibited significant inhibitory effect against neuroinflammation with IC50values at 1.22, 10.57, 1.02 and 0.76?μM respectively, much stronger than that of the positive control minocycline (IC5035.82?μM).

The total syntheses of wuweizisu C (4), gomisin J (6), gomisin N (7), and γ-schizandrin (8) having natural configuration were accomplished in a stereoselective manner.The catalytic hydrogenation or the metal mediated 1,4-reduction of the tetracyclic lactones (12, 17, 22, 30) played the significant role for the stereoselective introduction of C6, C7 dimethyl moiety.Furthermore, the neighboring carbonyl group assisted regioselective demethylation of 5 was essential for the synthesis of 6.

The total syntheses of γ-schizandrin and gomisin N were achieved in a stereoselective manner.The success of these synthesis heavily depends on the stereoselective reduction of tetracyclic lactones with magnesium in methanol.
