Abstract

As part of our ongoing effort to develop influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors from various medicinal plants, we utilized bioassay-guided fractionation to isolated six alkylated chalcones (1-6) from Angelica keiskei. Xanthokeistal A (1) emerged as new compound containing the rare alkyl substitution, 6,6-dimethoxy-3-methylhex-2-enyl. When we tested the ability of these individual alkyl substituted chalcones to inhibit influenza virus NA hydrolysis, we found that 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-butenyl alkyl (HMB) substituted chalcone (3, IC(50)=12.3 μM) showed most potent inhibitory activity. The order of potency of substituted alkyl groups on for NA inhibition was HMB>6-hydroxyl-3,7-dimethyl-octa-2,7-dienyl>dimethylallyl>geranyl. All NA inhibitors screened were found to be reversible noncompetitive inhibitors.
