Parrotia subaequalis, an endangered Tertiary relict tree native to China and a member of the Hamamelidaceae family, is one of several host plant species in this family that exhibit unique ecological habits, such as gall formation. Tree galls are the results of complex interactions between gall-inducing insects and their host plant organs. The formation of galls may serve to protect other regions of the plant from potential damage, often through the production of phytoalexins. In this study, a preliminary investigation was carried out on the metabolites of the 90% MeOH extract derived from the closed spherical galls on the twigs of P. subaequalis. Consequently, nine previously undescribed benzofuran-type and dibenzofuran-type phytoalexins (parrotiagallols A-I, 1-9, respectively) were isolated and characterized, along with several known miscellaneous metabolites (10-17). Their chemical structures and absolute configurations were elucidated using spectroscopic methods, a combination of calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism data, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Among these compounds, 1 and 2 are identified as neolignan derivatives, while compounds 3-5 are classified as 9,10-dinorneolignans. Compound 6 represents a rare 2,3-seco-neolignan, and compounds 7-9 are dihydroxy-dimethyl-dibenzofuran derivatives. Parrotiagallol A (1) showed considerable antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with an MIC value of 14 μM. Additionally, parrotiagallol E (5) and methyl gallate (17) exhibited inhibitory effects against ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), a potential therapeutic target for hyperlipidemia, with IC50 values of 5.1 and 9.8 μM, respectively. The findings underscore that galls not only serve as physical defense barriers but also benefit from the chemical defense system of the host plants. These insights provide avenues for exploring potential new therapeutic agents for S. aureus infections and ACL-related diseases, while also promoting scientific conservation strategies for P. subaequalis.
