Abstract
A pair of new enantiomeric neoligans, (±)-neonardochinone A (1) were isolated from Nardostachys chinensis. The structure of 1 was determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, containing IR, HRESIMS, NMR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The enantiomeric separation was finished by HPLC on a chiral column. The absolute configurations were assigned via comparison of their calculated and experimental ECD data. The anti-Alzheimer’s disease (AD) activities of 1, 1a, and 1b were also evaluated using the Caenorhabditis elegans AD pathological model, respectively, and 1 had the highest anti-AD activity.
