(±)-Magoilgomer A[(±)-1] and magoilgomer B (2) were identified from the bark of Magnolia officinalis var. biloba. (+)-1 and (-)-1 were a pair of novel biphenyl derivatives featuring three C6-C3 subunits. 2 was an unprecedented adduct containing magnolol and honokiol. These three oligomers possessed new parallel mode which should be biosynthesized from the coupling of three or four C6-C3 subunits. The structures of (±)-1 and 2 were elucidated based on the spectroscopic data analyses and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. 2 exhibited neuroprotective effects of oxygen glucose deprivation-induced SK-N-SH cell injury.

Magnolia officinalis Rehd. et Wils var. biloba (M. officinalis var.biloba), one kind of plant of Magnolia genus, distributed in southern China [1, 2]. It has been reported that the main secondary metabolites of M. officinalis var. biloba [3-5] are neolignanes, phenylethanoid glycosides, alkaloids and meroterpenoids, those compounds showed different biological activities [4-9] including antitumor, PTP1B inhibitory activity, free radical scavenging activity, and neuroprotective activity. The bark of M. officinalis var. biloba, known as 'Hou Pu' in Chinese, has been used as an important traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment and prevent diseases for centuries in China. This is a part of our continuous endeavor to search for more bioactive metabolites from traditional Chinese medicine. Our group had already reported that novel meroterpenoids with remarkable bioactivity were isolated from the bark of M. officinalis var. biloba [5]. In our continuous work, three novel compounds (±)-1 and 2 (Fig. 1) were isolated from the 95% ethanolic extract of the bark of M. officinalis var. biloba, (±)-1 possessed three C6-C3 subunits with new parallel approach, 2 was an unprecedented biphenyl derivative with new connection mode between magnolol and honokiol. Hence, the detailed information including isolation, absolute configuration elucidation and bioactivity evaluation of (±)-1 and 2 was reported.
compound 1 was obtained as colorless oil, HRESI-MS of 1 showed pseudomolecule ion peak at m/z 421.1764 [M + Na]+ revealing a molecular formula of C27H26O3 (calcd. for C27H26O3Na, 421.1774), which suggested 15 degrees of unsaturation. The 1H NMR (Table 1) showed a 1, 3, 4-trisubstituted benzene ring [δH 6.93 (brs, 1H, H-20), 6.84 (d, 1H, J = 8.4 Hz, H-50) and 6.97 (dd, 1H, J = 1.8, 8.4 Hz, H-60)], a set of 1, 4-disubstitued phenyl proton signals at dH 6.63 (d, 2H, J = 8.4 Hz, H-3'0, H-500), 6.92 (d, 2H, J = 8.4 Hz, H-200, H-600), and a 1, 3, 4, 5-tetrasubstituted benzene ring proton signals at δH 6.88 (d, 1H, J = 1.8 Hz, H-2), 6.81 (d, 1H, J = 1.8 Hz, H-6), two methylene δH 3.26 (d, 2H, J = 6.6 Hz, H-7), 3.25 (d, 2H, J = 6.0 Hz, H-7') and 5.03 (d, 1H, J = 7.8 Hz, H-7"). With the help of 1H, HSQC, HMBC, and 1H-1H COSY NMR spectra (Figs. S6, S8 - S10 in Supporting information), the 13C NMR spectrum gave 18 aromatic carbon signals, six olefin carbons and three sp3 carbon signals.
Along with the 1H-1H COSY cross-peaks (Fig. 2) of H-7/H-8/H-9, H-7'/H-8'/H-9' and H-7"/H-8"/H-9", the key HMBC correlations from H-7 to C-6, H-7' to C-6', from H-7" to C-1" suggested the presence of three C6-C3 subunits (C-1-C-9, C-1'-C-9' and C-1"-C-9") [10, 11]. The HMBC correlation of H-3'/C-2 indicated two allylbenzene moieties (C-1-C-9 and C-1'-C-9') conjugated through a carbon-carbon bond between C-3 and C-3', the HMBC correlations of H-7"/C-4, H-6/C-7" revealed fragment of C-1"-C-9" attached at C-5 by a carbon-carbon bond between C-7" and C-5. Thus, the structure of 1 was established.
The lack of optical activity and no Cotton effects in the ECD spectrum of 1 indicated that 1 was a racemic mixture. Consequently, an AD-H column yielded (+)-1 ([α]D20 = + 35.8 (c 0.10, CHCl3)) and (-)-1 ([α]D20 = - 36.9 (c 0.10, CHCl3)), in an approximate ratio of 1:1 by chiral-phase HPLC (Fig. 3). The experimental ECD (Fig. 4) of (+)-1 and (-)-1 well match with the theoretically calculated ECD of 7"R-1 and 7"S-1, respectively [12, 13]. Thus, the absolute structures of (+)-1 and (-)-1 were defined as 7"R-1 and 7"S-1, respectively.
compound 2, colorless oil, [α]D20 = - 45.2 (c 0.10, CHCl3), the molecular formula, C36H34O4, was deduced by the ion peak (-)-HRESI-MS m/z 529.2385 [M-H]-, (calcd. for C36H33O4, 529.2384), revealing 20 degrees of unsaturation. In combination with the 1D and 2D NMR data (Figs. S14-S18 in Supporting information), the 13C NMR (Table 1) gave four sp3 carbon signals at 39.3 (C-7), 34.3 (C-7'), 47.1 (C-7"), and 39.1 (C-7"'), three double carbon signals and 24 aromatic carbon signals [including four oxygen-bearing carbons δC 149.9 (C-4), 154.1 (C-6'), 152.6 (C-4"), and 152.2 (C-4"')]. Analysis of its 1H and 13C NMR (Table 1) data and comparison with 1H and 13C NMR data of 1 suggested 2 containing four C6-C3 subunits.
The planer structure of 2 was constructed basis on 2D NMR data of 2 (Fig. 2), the HMBC correlations from H-6 to C-7 and C-4, H-20 to C-7', from OH-60 to C-1', C-50, and C-6', the 1H-1H COSY peaks of H-7/H-8/H-9 and H-7'/H-80/H-90 defined two C6-C3 fragments (C-1-C-9 and C-1'-C-9'). The key HMBC correlations from H-20 to C-3 revealed a bond-bond between C-3 and C-3' connected the two subunits (C-1-C-9 and C-1'-C-9') which was described as honokiol [10]. Likewise, along with the 1H-1H COSY cross-peaks of H-7"/H-8"/H-9", H-7"'/H-8"'/H-9"', the HMBC correlations from H-7" to C-1", from OH-4" to C-3'0, C-4", and C-5", from H-8000 to C-1"', from H-2000 to C-3'00 gave a magnolol fragment (C-1"-C-9" and C-1"'-C-9"') [10], the HMBC correlations from H-7" to C-5, from H-6 to C-7" confirmed C-5 of honokiol linked to C-7" of magnolol fragment. Hence, the structure of 2, an adduct containing magnolol and honokiol, was established.
The ECD spectrum of 2 (Fig. 5) showed negative Cotton effects in 230 nm and 280 nm, which was similar to the ECD curve of (-)-1, indicating that 2 possessed the same absolute configuration as (-)-1, moreover, the experimental ECD of 2 well match with the theoretically calculated ECD of 7"S-2. Thus, the absolute structure of 2 was defined as 7"S-2.
In this work, the isolated compounds (±)-1 and 2 were evaluated for their bioactivity. At a concentration of 10 mmol/L, the neuroprotective effects experiment of (±)-1 and 2 against oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) and glutamic acid-induced SK-N-SH cell injury [14] indicated that (±)-1 and 2 exhibited weak neuroprotective effects (Tables 2 and 3). In particular 2 increased the OGD-induced SK-N-SH cell injury from 50.2% to 58.4% which more powerful than positive control drug potassium 2-(1-hydroxypentyl)-benzoate (PHPB, 53.8%).
In summary, we reported (±)-magoilgomer A [(±)-1] and magoilgomer B (2) isolated from the 95% ethanolic extract of the bark of M. officinalis var. biloba, (±)-1 possessed three C6-C3 subunits with new parallel approach, 2 was an unprecedented biphenyl derivative containing magnolol fragment and honokiol fragment. The neuroprotective effects of (±)-1 and 2 were evaluated. 2 exhibited weak neuroprotective effect of ODGinduced SK-N-SH cell injury.
