The crystal structure of 1, C22H33NO4, wasdetermined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to orthorhombicsystem, space group P212121, with a-9.0115(11), b = 10.612(4), c = 22.074(3) A, V= 2110.9(8)S^3, Z= 4, Mr= 375.49, Dc= 1.182 g/cm3, λ= 0.71079 A,μ= 0.080 cm^-1, F(000) = 816, S = 1.019,R = 0.0579 and wR = 0.1358. A total of 3109 unique reflections were collected, of which 2902were observed (I〉 2σ(I)). The absolute configuration of 1 could be assigned by referring to theconserved configuration of the methyl groups at C(13) and C(20). In the solid state, the moleculeswere linked into a chain along the a-axis through weak hydrogen bond C(ll)-H(11A)…O(2).Compound 1 shows significant inhibition of cough by 24%, 44% and 65% at doses of 50, 100 and150 mg/kg, respectively.展开更多
