Cardanolides from the Chinese toad venom Ch'an Su

From the toad venom Ch'an Su the cardenolides I, III and V have been isolated. It is the first time that cardenolides and bufadienolides are detected simultaneously in a biological material.

Two new bufadienolides, isolated from Ch'an Su, are proved to be 19-oxo-cinobufagin (III) and 19-oxo-cinobufotalin (V), respectively.     

Modified coumarins. 30. Synthesis of 6-heteroarylcoumarins

Heteroarylcoumarins containing 2-indole, 3-pyrazole, and 4-pyrimidine substituents in the 6-position of the coumarin ring were synthesized. Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 145-148, March-April, 2009.     

Derivatives of isoquinoline. 30. Synthesis of 4-spirosubstituted dioxenoisoquinolines

Methods have been developed for the synthesis of 1,4-benzodioxanyl-6-ethylamine with cyclopentyl and tetrahydropyranyl substituents in the -position. These compounds have been used as starting materials for the synthesis of new heterocyclic systems, the 4-spirocyclosubstituted dioxinoisoquinolines.For Communication 29, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 677–680, May, 1993.     

Bufadienolides and a new lignan from the bulbs of Urginea maritima

Thirty three compounds were obtained from the bulbs of Urginea maritima (Liliaceae). The compounds were identified by means of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), (13C-NMR), nuclear overhauser effects (NOE) and two dimensional (2D) NMR. Ten of them were new natural compounds. Nine were bufadienolides and only one was lignan in these compounds.     

Synthesis of polysaccharides. Communication 15. Synthesis of β-(1 → 6)-D-galactan

Conclusions 1,2-0-(1-exo-Cyano)ethylidene-3,4-di-0-acety1-6-0-trityl- and 1,2-0-(1-exo-cyano)ethylidene-3,4-di-0-benzoyl-6-0-trityl--D-galactopyranoses were synthesized. Their polycondensation led to D-galactans, which do not contain -glycoside bonds.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya., No. 10, pp. 2358–2363, October, 1984.
