Abstract
Five iridoid glycosides were isolated from the MeOH extract of Hedyotis diffusa, and their structures were elucidated as E-6-O-p-methoxycinnamoyl scandoside methyl ester (1), Z-6-O-p-methoxycinnamoyl scandoside methyl ester (2), E-6-O-p-feruloyl scandoside methyl ester (3), E-6-O-p-coumaroyl scandoside methyl ester (4), and Z-6-O-p-coumaroyl scandoside methyl ester (5) by interpretation of their spectroscopic data. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for human neutrophil elastase inhibitory effect, and compound 1 showed potent activity with an IC(50) value of 18.0muM. The molecular docking simulation suggested a structural model for the inhibition of human neutrophil elastase by compound 1.
