Abstract

Nine new homosecoiridoid alkaloids, named lonijaposides O-W (1-9), along with 19 known compounds, were isolated from an aqueous extract of the flower buds of Lonicera japonica. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic data analysis and chemical methods. Lonijaposides O-W have structural features that involve amino acid units sharing the N atom with a pyridinium (1-5) or nicotinic acid (6-9) moiety. The absolute configurations of the amino acid units were determined by oxidation of each pyridinium ring moiety with potassium ferricyanide, hydrolysis of the oxidation product, and Marfey's analysis of the hydrolysate. This procedure was validated by oxidizing and hydrolyzing synthetic model compounds. The phenylalanine units in compounds 4, 5, and 9 have the d-configuration, and the other amino acid units in 1-3 and 6-8 possess the l-configuration. Compounds 1, 4, 6, and 9 and the known compounds 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and 5'-O-methyladenosine exhibited antiviral activity against the influenza virus A/Hanfang/359/95 (H3N2) with IC50 values of 3.4-11.6 μM, and 4 inhibited Coxsackie virus B3 replication with an IC50 value of 12.3 μM.
