Deskripsi

Six new polyoxygenated terpenoids, podovirosanes A–F (<b>1</b>–<b>6</b>), and two known polyketides (<b>7</b> and <b>8</b>) were isolated from the roots of <i>F. virosa</i>. Their structures, along with absolute configurations, were deduced using spectroscopic analysis as well as computational calculations, including TDDFT calculation of ECD spectra and GIAO NMR calculations combined with DP4+ probability analysis. Compounds <b>2</b>, <b>3</b>, <b>5</b>, and <b>8</b> were found to reduce the phosphorylation levels of NF-<i>κ</i>B p65 in SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus-stimulated PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells.
