    Abstract:
    Eight new arnebinol B-based meroterpenoids ((-)-1, 2, 3, (-)-5, and 7-10) with a constrained 6/10/5 tricyclic backbone were isolated from the roots of Arnebia euchroma. The planar and steric structures of these new compounds were unambiguously elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, X-ray diffraction crystallography, and ECD calculations. The predominant relative orientation between H-7 and the Z double bond with a methyl substituent in the rigid 10-membered carbocycle, along with the planar chirality of the Z double bond was analyzed and discussed for the first time. The illustration of the planar chirality derived from the Z double bond should be paid great importance during the structure elucidation on these homologous meroterpenoids. All the isolated meroterpenoids were screened for their cytotoxicities against the HCT-8, PANC-1, HGC-27, HepG2, and PC9 cell lines, and compounds (+)-5 and (-)-5 exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity.
