Two novel spirooliganones A (1) and (2), a pair of spiro carbon epimers, with a rare dioxaspiro skeleton were isolated from the roots of Illicium oligandrum. The structures were fully determined by spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods, especially modified Mosher's method, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Spirooliganone B was found to exhibit more potent activities against coxsackie virus B3 and influenza virus A (H3N2) (IC50 3.70-5.05 μM) than spirooliganone A. The biosynthetic pathway involving a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of the epimers was proposed.

Natural products (NPs) are very important sources for the development of new drugs. Merrillianone and cycloparvifloralone, isolated from the roots, stems, and fruits of Illicium henryi Diels, are two natural sesquiterpene compounds. In continuation of our effort to discovery more effective neurotrophic compounds from NPs, a series of novel merrillianone/cycloparviforalone based esters 2a-i, 3a-g and 3i-q were prepared and their structures were characterized by H NMR, C NMR and IR spectral analyses.
