Popis: The two ar-bisabol sesquiterpenoids (+)-sielboldianin A (1) and (+)-sielboldianin B (2) were isolated from the stem bark of the plant Fraxinus sielboldiana and belong to a medicinally interesting class of natural products used in traditional Chinese medicine. Herein the total synthesis of the proposed structure of (+)-sielboldianin A (1) is reported using an organocatalyzed enantioselective bromolactonization protocol. X-ray analysis of a key intermediate together with specific rotation values and NOESY data of the synthesized product enabled the revision of the absolute configuration of the natural product (+)-sielboldianin A to (7R,10R). Studies on the antioxidant effects using two cell-based assays were conducted. These studies revealed that the enantiomer of 1 exhibited antioxidant effects with IC50 values of 18 ± 3 μM in a cellular lipid peroxidation antioxidant activity assay. Moreover, (−)-1 showed strong protective effects against reactive oxygen species in a cell-based antioxidant activity assay ...
