New sesquiterpenoids from Biscogniauxia sp.

Five new sesquiterpenoids, including a campherenane-type (1), a bergamotane-type (2), a drimane-type (3), and two bisabolane-type (5-6) sesquiterpenoids have been isolated from Biscogniauxia sp. 71-10-1-1. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses, quantum chemical ECD calculations,¹³C chemical shifts calculations, and X-ray crystallography. This is the first report of campherenane-type and drimane-type sesquiterpenoids from Biscogniauxia. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory assays of all compounds are evaluated, and the results showed that compounds 3 and 7 exhibited the effects against the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α.
