Methods
Extraction and isolation of compounds from shepherd's purse seed; structure determination by IR, NMR, and MS; docking to NF-κB; anti-radiation activity assay.
Two new sulfur glycosides, bursapastoris A-B (3-4), were extracted and isolated from shepherd's purse seed, along with two new natural products, 11-(methylsulfinyl)undecanoic acid (2) and 10-(methylsulfinyl)decanoic acid (1). Their structures were determined though infrared spectroscopy, one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C), and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Additionally, the structures of 3-4 were further identified by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (HMBC, HSQC, 1H-1H COSY, and NOESY). Compounds 1-4 showed relatively favorable docking to NF-κB. Unfortunately, we only discovered that compound 1-4 had weak anti-radiation activity at present. Therefore, further research regarding the biological activity of these organosulfur compounds is required at a later stage.
