A New Triterpene from the Orchid Pholidota yunnanensis

A new triterpene, 25-methylenecyclopholidonyl p-hydroxy-trans-cinnamate, was isolated from a orchid Pholidota yunnanensis. The structure elucidation and ^1H, ^13C-NMR assignments were achieved by spectral and chemical method.     

Alkaloids from stems of Ervatamia yunnanensis

Six indole alkaloids were isolated from the stems of Ervatamia yunnanensis. Among them, yunnanensine (I) is new. The other five are known alkaloids, namely: 19,20-E-vallesamine (II), 19s-heyneanine (HI), ibogaine (IV), ibogamine (V), coronaridine (VI). The structural elucidation of the alkaloids was based on spectral means.     

Two new cyclopeptides from stellaria yunnanensis

In the previous papers, we reported the isolation and structural elucidation of three new cyclopeptides, namely stellarin A, B and C, from the fresh roots of stellaria yunnanensis Franch. In a continued study on this plant, other two new cyclopeptides named stellarin D(1) and E(2) were obtained and their structures were established to be cyclo (Gly-Tyr-Leu-Phe-Pro-Ile-Pro)(1), cyclo(Gly-Ile-Pro-Tyr-Ile-Ala-Ala)(2), respectively.     

Constituents from Rubia Ustulata Diels and R. Yunnanensis Diels and Their Antiplatelet Aggregation Activity

A new anthraquinone glycoside, rubiayannone‐A ( 1 ), and a new coumarin, rubilatin‐A ( 2 ), together with twenty‐two known compounds were isolated and characterized from the roots of Rubia ustulata. A new anthraquinone, 2‐carbomethoxyanthraquinone ( 3 ), and rubiayannone‐A, 2‐formylanthraquinone were obtained from the roots of R. yunnanensis. The structures of those compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The antiplatelet aggregation activity of the isolated compounds 1, 4～6 were also discussed.     

Development of an HPLC‐DAD method for the determination of five alkaloids in Stephania yunnanensis Lo and in rat plasma after oral dose of Stephania yunnanensis Lo extracts

For the rational utilization and the quantitative quality control of the Stephania yunnanensis Lo, an HPLC‐DAD method was developed for the quantitative and simultaneous determination of five alkaloids in rat plasma (stepharine, sinomenine, palmatine, isocorydine and tetrahydropalmatine), which were the main active chemical constituents of this plant and belong to four kinds of isoquinoline‐type alkaloids (protoberberine, morphine, aporphine and protaporphine alkaloids). The contents of five alkaloids ranged from 0.09 to 2.32% (w/w). The method validation was tested for the linearity (r² > 0.9975), precision (intra‐day RSD < 4.8% and inter‐day RSD < 4.9%), extraction recovery (85.49 ± 2.29% to 99.21 ± 1.48%) and stability (98.5 ± 5.3% to 101.2 ± 3.4%). We developed an HPLC‐DAD method to simultaneously measure these alkaloids in rat plasma after oral administration of the extract of this plant to rats. The results supported the hypothesis that isoquinoline alkaloids were the compounds responsible for the main pharmacological activities for anti‐inflammatory and analgesic.     

Benzophenone glycosides from the pericarps of Aquilaria yunnanensis S. C. Huang

Abstract

Two new benzophenone glycosides, aquilarisides A (1) and B (2), together with six known analogues (3-8) were isolated from the pericarps of Aquilaria yunnanensis S. C. Huang. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration of compound 1 was determined by experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Anti-inflammatory activities of all compounds 1–8 were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells using the Griess assay. Compound 2 indicated a weak inhibition of NO production.

药用植物追风箭的红外光谱分析

本文首次采用傅里叶红外光谱法对追风箭的根、茎、叶和花进行了对比分析。分析表明同株追风箭的四个部位图谱吸收峰的峰形大体相同,但由于它们所属的部位不同,导致它们的化学成分和相对含量的差异,所以体现了它们各自的特征。文章还分析了追风箭的IR图谱和可能的药物活性之间的关系。实验结果表明,追风箭四者的图谱中在1373 cm-1和1252 cm-1附近均有峰,表明它们均具有活血化瘀的功能,这为其"跌打损伤"的主治药效在分子水平上提供了依据经过整体分析,追风箭含有三萜类化合物、生物碱、芳香族化合物和醇等。本文对民医用药和IR图谱的联系作出了首次初步探索。     

Structure elucidation and NMR assignment of two new eudesmane derivatives from Merremia yunnanensis

Two new eudesmane derivatives, 1α,6β,9β-trihydroxy-eudesm-3-ene-1-O-β-d -glucopyranoside ( 1 ) and 1α,6β,9β-trihydroxy-eudesm-3-ene-1-(6-cinnamoyl)-O-β-d -glucopyranoside ( 2 ) were discovered from Merremia yunnanensis. The structures were elucidated by analysis of their spectroscopic data including HR-ESI-MS, 1D, and 2D NMR. It should be noted that this is the first report about structure elucidation and NMR assignment of compounds from M. yunnanensis.     

不同病虫害危害程度下云南松针叶光谱模拟及其生化参数敏感性分析

明确植被叶片反射率对生化参数敏感程度是遥感定量反演生化参数含量的前提。本文以不同健康状态下的云南松针叶光谱为例,基于查找表法(LUT)对针叶光谱模型LIBERTY的叶绿素和水分吸收系数进行了标定。提出了一种新的光谱合成方法和枯黄指数YI,解决LIBERTY模型不能有效拟合严重受害程度的云南松针叶反射光谱曲线的问题。并应用EFAST全局敏感性分析方法,利用标定后的LIBERTY模型定量分析了不同受害程度的针叶生化参数敏感性变化。结果表明:(1)标定后的LIBERTY模型能有效拟合健康针叶光谱(R~2=0.999,RMSE0.01)、轻度(R~2=0.991,RMSE0.02)和中度受害针叶光谱(R~2=0.992,RMSE0.03);但是严重受害针叶光谱模拟能力很差(R~2=0.803,RMSE0.1)。(2)新光谱合成方法能有效拟合严重受害光谱(R~2=0.991,RMSE0.03);枯黄指数(YI)能够定量分析受害程度。(3)随着受害程度加深,针叶反射率对叶绿素、水分参数敏感度降低,而基吸收、白化吸收等参数敏感度增大,且存在敏感波段。如在505~565和705~850 nm范围白化吸收对针叶反射率作用明显;对于严重受害针叶,除了叶绿素之外白化吸收对可见光区针叶反射率影响也非常显著;通过引入白化吸收先验知识,发现如果能进一步确定白化吸收情况,能够提高严重受害针叶叶绿素反演的精度。
