    Abstract:
    Two new rare 8-methylbenzo[h]coumarins, muralatins A and B (1, 2), nine new C-8-substituted coumarins, muralatins C-K (3-11), and 22 known analogues (12-33) were isolated from the leaves of Murraya alata. The absolute configurations of compounds 5, 11, 23, 24, 27, 30, and 33 were assigned via comparison of their specific rotations, by Mosher's method, and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data of the in situ formed transition metal complexes. A putative biosynthesis pathway to 1 and 2 is proposed, and the chemical synthesis of 1 was accomplished through electrocyclization of 5,7-dimethoxy-8-[(Z)-3-methylbut-1,3-dienyl)]coumarin (12). Compounds 1, 2, 8, 12, and 31 showed inhibition of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages with IC50 values of 6.0-14.5 μM.
