Chemical constituents of the methanolic extract of leaves of Leiothrix spiralis Ruhland and their antimicrobial activity

Chemical fractionation of the methanolic extract of leaves of Leiothrix spiralis Ruhland afforded the flavonoids luteolin-6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), 7-methoxyluteolin-6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), 7-methoxyluteolin-8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), 4'-methoxyluteolin-6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), and 6-hydroxy-7-methoxyluteolin (5), and the xanthones 8-carboxymethyl-1,5,6-trihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone (6), 8-carboxy-methyl-1,3,5,6-tetrahydroxyxanthone (7). Methanolic extract, fractions, and isolated compounds of the leaves of L. spiralis were assayed against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella setubal and Helicobacter pylori) and fungi (the yeasts Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei and C. parapsilosis). We observed the best minimum inhibitory concentration values for the methanolic extract against Candida parapsilosis, for the fraction 5 + 6 against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli and P. aeruginosa, and compound 7 against all tested Candida strains. The methanolic extract contents suggest that this species may be a promising source of compounds to produce natural phytomedicines.

1H and 13C NMR studies of some germacrones and isogermacrones

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the trans,trans-, cis,cis- and cis-C-3–C-4, trans-C-7–C-8-germacrones and of the cis-C-2–C-3, trans-C-7–C–8, trans-C-2–C-3, cis-C-7–C-8- and cis,cis-isogermacrones are analysed. The last two isogermacrones are new compounds. The C-2–C-3 double bond in the previously described isogermacrone is found to be of cis configuration, contrary to the hitherto accepted trans arrangement.

Synthesis and characterisation of helical beta-peptide architectures that contain (S)-beta3-HDOPA(Crown Ether) derivatives

A new set of beta-amino acids that carry various crown ether receptors on their side chains of the general formula (S)-beta(3)-HDOPA(crown ether) (HDOPA: homo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine; (crown ether): [15]crown-5 ([15-C-5]), [18]crown-6 ([18-C-6]), [21]crown-7 ([21-C-7]), 1,2-Benzo-[24]crown-8 ([Benzo-24-C-8]) and (R)-Binol-[20]crown-6 ([(R)-Binol-20-C-6])) was prepared. Peptides that are based on these new crowned beta-amino acids combined with (1S,2S)-ACHC (2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid), which is known to be a potent 3(14)-helix inducer, to the hexamer level, with two crowned residues at the i and i+3 positions of the main-chain, were synthesized in solution by stepwise coupling using Boc-N(alpha)-protection (Boc: tert-butoxycarbonyl) and the EDC/HOAt C-activation method. Their conformational analysis was performed by using FTIR absorption, NMR and CD spectroscopy techniques. Our results are in full agreement with a 3(14)-helix conformation.

The average La-O(crown) bond length of 2. 683 A (2. 660-2. 701A)is shorter than that in La(NO3)3(15-C-5)(2. 694A).The distances between opposite O atoms (3. 47~4. 68A) indicate that the cavity of 16-C-5 in the complex is elliptic.     

Spectroscopic and density functional theory studies of the molecular geometry and electronic structure of classical and nonclassical radical ions derived from 7-benzhydrylidenenorbornene analogues

A spectroscopic study, using nanosecond time-resolved laser flash photolysis and gamma-irradiation of low-temperature matrices, was undertaken along with a theoretical study using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent (TD)-DFT calculations to gain insight into the molecular geometry and electronic structure of radical cations and radical anions of 7-benzhydrylidenenorbornene (4) and its derivatives 6-8. The radical ions 4(.+), 6(.+), 7(.+), 8(.+), 4(.-), 6(.-), 7(.-), and 8(.-) exhibited clear absorption bands in the 350-800 nm region, which were reproduced successfully from the electronic transitions calculated with TD-UB3LYP/cc-pVDZ. Radical cations 4(.+) and 8(.+) are consistent with a bent structure having a delocalized electronic state where the spin and charge are delocalized not only in the benzhydrylidene subunit but also in the residual subunit. In contrast, 6(.+) and 7(.+) have nonbent structures with a localized electronic state where their spin and charge are localized in the benzhydrylidene subunit only. Therefore, 4(.+) and 89(.+) have a nonclassical nature, with 6(.+) and 7(.+) possessing a classical nature. In contrast, in the radical anion system, 7(.-) and 8(.-) are considered nonclassical, and 4(.-) and 6(.-) are classical. Orbital interaction theory and DFT calculations can account fully for the spectroscopic features, molecular geometries, and electronic structures of the radical ions. For example, the shift of the absorption bands and the nonclassical nature of 4(.+) are due to the antibonding character of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of 4, and those of 7(.-) arise from the bonding character of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of 7. A topological agreement of p-orbitals at C-2, C-3 (or C-5, C-6), and C-7 produces strong electronic coupling with an antibonding or a bonding character in the frontier orbitals. It is the ethylene and butadiene skeleton at C-2-C-3 (or C-5-C-6), with its contrasting topology in the HOMO and LUMO of the neutral precursor, that holds the key to deducing the nonclassical nature of the 7-benzhydrylidenenorbornene-type radical cation and radical anion systems.

New fatty acid,aromatic ester and monoterpenic benzyl glucoside from the fruits of Withania coagulans Dunal

The fruits of Withania coagulans Dunal (family: Solanaceae) are sweet, sedative, emetic, alterative and diuretic; used to treat asthma, biliousness, strangury, wounds, dyspepsia, flatulent colic, liver complaints and intestinal infections in the indigenous system of medicine. Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of W. coagulans fruits led to the isolation of a new fatty acid, an aromatic ester and a monoterpenic benzyl glucoside characterised as n-octatriacont-17-enoic acid (3), geranilan-10-olyl dihydrocinnamoate (4) and geranilan-8-oic acid-10-olyl salicyloxy-2-O-β-d-glucofuranosyl-(6″→1?)-O-β-d-glucofuranosyl-6?-n-octadec-9?′,11?′-dienoate (5) along with two known fatty acids, n-dotriacont-21-enoic acid (1) and n-tetratriacontanoic acid (2). The structures of isolated phytoconstituents were established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR, FT-IR, UV, and MS data and chemical means.     

Ionspray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry of Li+ or NH4+ coordinated 1:1 γ-cyclodextrin/12-crown-4-ether double macrocyclic inclusion complex

Ionspray mass spectrometry (MS) of a water-acetonitrile solution of 1:1 γ-cyclodextrin (γCD)/12-crown-4 ether (12-C-4) double macrocyclic inclusion complex added with LiBr and ammonium acetate allowed the detection of 1:1:1 γCD/12-C-4/Li⁺ or NH₄⁺ gaseous associations, which were characterized by tandem-MS experiments performed with a triple quadrupole analyser. The low energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) products were both γCD and 12-C-4 cationated with Li⁺ or NH₄⁺, respectively. The CID of 1:1:1 γCD/12-C-4/NH₄⁺ also yielded protonated γCD and 12-C-4. Li⁺ or NH₄⁺ cationated γCD were more abundant than the corresponding cationated 12-C-4. These results suggested preferential cationization of γCD at the external hydrophilic surface with respect to 12-C-4 cation inclusion within the 1:1 double macrocyclic complex for entropy and steric hindrance reasons. Nevertheless, the 12-C-4 cationization did yet even occur to a significant extent, thus providing support for the surviving capability of a cationated gaseous CD host-guest complex with the charge located within the host cavity.
