Abstract
A new coumestan (solalyratin A, 1) and a novel cyclic eight-membered α,β-unsaturated ketone (solalyratin B, 3), together with three known compounds, puerariafuran (2), coumestrol (4) and 9-hydroxy-2′,2′-dimethylpyrano[5′,6′:2,3]-coumestan (5), were isolated from the whole plant of Solanum lyratum. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. In vitro, compounds 1–5 showed anti-inflammatory activities, with IC50 values in the range 6.3–9.1 μM.
