Abstract
Three new quassinoids, javanicinols A and B (1 and 2) and 4-keto-(16S)-methoxyjavanicin B (3), together with three known quassinoids (4–6) were isolated from the chloroform-soluble fraction of the methanol extract of the Picrasma javanica wood. The structures of 1–3 were determined by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and CD. The anti-HIV-1 viral protein R (Vpr) assay revealed that 1 and 2 exhibited potent anti-Vpr activities at 1.25 μM. Furthermore, the assay also revealed the potent anti-Vpr activities of (16R)-methoxyjavanicin B (7) and (16S)-methoxyjavanicin B (8), which were previously isolated from the Picrasma javanica wood.
