Isolation and Identification of Capillarin from Artemisia Ordosica Kraschen

1 INTRODUCTION The whole body of herb of Artemisia Ordosica Kraschen (Artemisia genus of Compositae) has been long used to treat rheummarthritis, parotitis, intestinal obstruction as well as to stop bleeding in traditional Chinese medicine[1]. In our systematic studies of active metabolites, we have isolated seve- ral compounds from ethanol extracts of this plant[2], including flavones, flavanones, an isocoumarine, and capillarin. Coumarines commonly occur in na- tural plants as metabo…

Isolation,structure elucidation and enzyme inhibition studies of a new hydroxy ester and other compounds from Berberis jaeschkeana Schneid stem

Bioassay-guided isolation and fractionation of Berberis jaeschkeana Schneid var. jaeschkeana stem resulted in the isolation and characterisation of a new long chain hydroxy ester named as berberinol (1) along with six known compounds (2–7). All the structures were established from 1D and 2D spectroscopic data. Crude extract, sub-fractions and all the isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-fungal and urease enzyme inhibition properties. All of the sub-fractions and compounds showed good anti-fungal and urease enzyme inhibition properties. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were calculated for all active samples in case of urease enzyme inhibition. MICs values were found to be in the range of 39.03–49.78 μg/mL for urease enzyme inhibition.     

A new eremophilanolide from Senecio sinuatus Gilib

From the hexane extracts of Senecio sinuatus roots, the new 3beta-angeloyloxy-6beta-hydroxyeremophil-1(10)-en-8beta,12-olide (3), along with the known compounds 3beta-angeloyloxy-6beta-hydroxyeremophil-1(10)-ene (1), 3beta-senecioyloxy-6beta-hydroxyeremophil-1(10)-ene (2), and 3beta-angeloyloxy-6beta,8alpha-dihydroxyeremophil-1(10)-en-8beta,12-olide (4), were isolated. Complete 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift assignments of 1-4 were achieved using one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques, including gHMQC and gHMBC experiments. A Monte Carlo search, followed by B3LYP/6-31G*DFT calculation, provided the theoretical conformations of the eremophilane rings, which were in agreement with results derived from 1H-1H NMR coupling constant analysis, and confirmed by NOESY experiments.

Structure elucidation of two new bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids and NMR assignments of the alkaloids from the fruits of Tiliacora racemosa

Besides three known biphenyldibenzodioxinbisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids, two novel alkaloids of the same group have been isolated from the fruits of Tiliacora racemosa. The structures of these new compounds designated tiliaimine and nordinklacorine were established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, including COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HMBC and HSQC experiments. Preliminary antibacterial activity studies on the known compounds (tiliarine, 2′‐nortiliacorinine, 2′‐nortiliacorine) from the fruits of the plant showed strong activity against three bacterial strains viz. Escherichia coli strain VT3 (Verotoxigenic E.coli), Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6623 but were inactive against the strains Vibrio cholerae O1 (NB2) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442.

Structure elucidation of two new xanthone derivatives from the marine fungus Penicillium sp. (ZZF 32#) from the South China Sea

Two new xanthones, 8-(methoxycarbonyl)-1-hydroxy-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-3-carboxylic acid (1) and dimethyl 8-methoxy-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1,6-dicarboxylate (2) and one known xanthone methyl 8-hydroxy-6-methyl-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylate (3) were isolated from the culture broth of the mangrove fungus Penicillium sp. (ZZF 32#) collected from the South China Sea. Their structures were established by comprehensive analysis of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) NMR data. The structure of compound 3 was confirmed by X-ray crystallography, which led to the suggestion that janthinone (4) might have the same structure as 3. Compounds 1-3 were inactive against KB or KBv200 cells during cytotoxicity evaluations.     

Isolation, structure elucidation, and biological activity of a new alkaloid from Zanthoxylum rhetsa

Several biologically active alkaloids (1-4, 6), including a new quinazoline-6-carboxylic acid (1), were isolated from the medicinal plant Zanthoxylum rhetsa, an evergreen tree, native to subtropical areas. Whereas the pharmacological properties of the plant extract and single constituents have been widely tested, we now show that all of the metabolites have antialgal activities, all but 6 are antibacterial, and 6 and the reduction product 5 (derived from 4) are also antifungal.
