1,7-Dihydroxy-2,3,4-trimethoxy-9H-xanthen-9-one monohydrate from Halenia elliptica

P. Yu, X. Shen, C. Hu, E. J. Meehan and L. Chen

Abstract top

The title compound, C16H14O7·H2O, possesses a planar three-ring skeleton; its carbonyl, one of the two hydroxy and two of the three methoxy O atoms and the water molecule form hydrogen bonds, giving rise to a layer structure.

Comment top

Xanthone compounds commonly occur in several higher plant families, such as Gentianaceae,Guttiferae, Moraceae and Polygalaceae. Simple oxygenated xanthones possess different biological activities such as antidepressant, antitumor, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, cardiotonic, hypoglycemic, antihepatotoxic and immunomodulatory (Liou et al., 1993; Basnet et al., 1994; Fernandes et al., 1995; Parmar et al., 1996; Karan et al., 1999; Miura et al., 2001; Pedro et al., 2002; Sousa et al., 2002). The majority of the xanthones isolated so far are hydroxyl or methoxy substituted in the xanthone skeleton. Up to present, only ten simple oxygenated xanthones were characterized by X-ray diffraction (Stout et al., 1969; Vijayalakshmi et al., 1987; Kijjoa et al., 1998; Gales et al., 2001; Kabaleeswaran et al., 2003; Jiang et al., 2004; Shi et al., 2004; Evans et al., 2004; Kato et al., 2005; Shi et al., 2005). 1,7-dihydroxy-2,3,4-trimethoxyxanthone (I) was first isolated from Halenia elliptica D. Don (Gentianaceae) and has antioxidant activity. Its crystal structure is reported for the first time in this paper. The structure of I (Figure 1) is similar to other xanthones reported with a planar three-ring skeleton. The asymmetric unit of crystal I contains one molecule I plus one water molecule. I forms hydrogen bonds with the water molecule through its carbonyl, one of the two hydroxyl and two of the three methoxyl O atoms (Table 1, Figure 2). The crystal structure is stabilized by the extensive hydrogen bond network.

Experimental top

Halenia elliptica D. Don was collected in DALI, Yunnan Province, in April 2005 and was identified by Professor Xiaokuang Ma, Department of Pharmacognosy, School of Pharmacy, DALI University, People's Republic of China.

Extraction and isolation: 1,7-dihydroxy-2,3,4-trimethoxyxanthone (I) was isolated from ethyl acetate fraction of the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Halenia elliptica with other four 1,7-dihydroxy substituted xanthones by silica gel column chromatography with gradient mixtures of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. Yellow crystals of I were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in EtOH. M.p.164–165°C. ESI-MS m/z (rel. %): 319[M+H]+.1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3), d12.60 (1H, s, OH-1), 7.60 (1H, d, J=3.0 Hz, H-8), 7.49 (1H, d, J=9.3 Hz, H-5), 7.34 (1H, dd, J=3.0, 9.0 Hz, H-6), 5.32 (1H, br. s, OH-7), 4.15 (3H, s, OCH3), 3.96 (3H, s, OCH3), 3.95 (3H, s, OCH3).

Refinement top

H atoms attached to O atoms were located in a difference map and refined with bond restraints O—H = 0.82 (2) Å. C-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H 0.93 - 0.96 Å). All H atoms were refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 - 1.5 Ueq of the parent atom.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
