New chlorine-containing prenylated C6-C3 compounds increasing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity in culture of postnatal rat septal neurons from Illicium tashiroi.
The structures of two new chlorine-containing C6-C3 compounds isolated from the woods of Illicium tashiroi have been established as 2(R)-12-chloro-2,3-dihydroillicinone E (1) and 12-chloroillicinone E (2) by X-ray crystallographic analysis and spectroscopic data, respectively. Compound 1 has been found to significantly increase ChAT activity in culture of P10 rat septal neurons.
