Structurally diverse biflavonoids from Dysosma versipellis and their bioactivity.

ABSTRACT: Five pairs of new biflavonoid enantiomers, (±)-dysosmabiflavonoids A-E (1-5), two new biflavonoids, dysosmabiflavonoids F-G (6-7), and four biosynthetically related precursors (8-11) were isolated from the roots and rhizomes of Dysosma versipellis. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including HR-ESI-MS and 2D NMR. Their absolute configurations were determined by comparison of the calculated and experimental ECD spectra. All isolated compounds were evaluated for AChE inhibitory activity. Compounds 6 and 7 exhibited more potent inhibitory activities with IC₅₀ values of 1.42 and 0.73 µM, respectively, than their biosynthetically related precursors kaempferol (8, 17.90 µM) and quercetin (9, 3.96 µM). The preliminary structure-activity relati
