应用高效液相色谱质谱联用方法(HPLC-ESI-MSn)研究了甘草提取物中的七种化合物,四种三萜类化合物和三种黄酮类化合物。通过多极串联质谱(ESI-MSn)和多极串联傅里叶变换回旋共振质谱(FT-ICR-MSn)法研究了它们的碎裂规律。通过比较保留时间和质谱数据对上述七种化合物进行了归属,并阐述了其可能的质谱裂解途径。以上结果显示ESI-MSn和FT-ICR-MSn是非常有效的分析三萜类化合物和黄酮类化合物结构的工具。     

Abietane Diterpenes of the Genus Plectranthus sensu lato

Plectranthus (Lamiaceae), which—according to the latest systematic revision—includes three separate genera (Coleus, Plectranthus sensu stricto, and Equilabium), is a genus widely used in traditional medicine—mainly in the treatment of various ailments of the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and skin. Many species of Plectranthus s.l. have been shown to produce phenolic compounds and terpenes. Diterpenes, especially those of the abietane class, are the most studied group of secondary metabolites found in Plectranthus s.l., which is characterized by a significant structural diversity arising from the oxygenation and further rearrangement of the basic tricyclic abietane skeleton to a complete aromatization of the ring system. This review summarizes the known information on abietane diterpenes, showing their structures, sources, and biosynthesis. A classification of these compounds into nine groups, according to the arrangement of their ring C, is used. Royleanones, spirocoleons, and hydroquinones are the largest classes of abietane diterpenes, covering more than 70% of all the compounds reviewed.     

Terpenoids and phenolics from Plectranthus strigosus, bioactivity screening

Further studies on Plectranthus sp. (Lamiaceae) led to the isolation of terpenes and phenol esters from Plectranthus strigosus Benth. ent-16-Kauren-19-ol (1), ent-16-kauren-19-oic acid (2), xylopic acid (3), xylopinic acid (4), hinokiol (5), 4 beta,6 beta-dihydroxy-1 alpha,5 beta(H)-guai-9-ene (6) 4 beta,6 beta-dihydroxy-1 alpha,5 beta(H)-guai-10(14)-ene (7), mixtures of hexacosan-1,26-diol and octacosan-1,28-diol ferulate diesters (8), of esters from ferulic acid and fatty alcohols (9) and of esters from fatty acids and 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanol (10) were for the first time isolated from this genus. Supplementary spectral data for 3,8 and parvifloron D (11) metabolites are also presented. A bioactivity study revealed herpetic inhibitory properties for (1) and (2), and antioxidant ability for (5) and (8) phenolic constituents.     

Tocopherols and Triterpenoids from Sida acuta

A new tocopherol derivative, 7_a‐methoxy‐α‐tocopherol ( 1 ), and a new taraxastane triterpene, taraxast‐1,20(30)‐dien‐3‐one ( 5 ), together with four known compounds, β‐tocopherol ( 2 ), α‐tocopherol ( 3 ), α‐tocospiro B ( 4 ) and taraxasterone ( 6 ) were isolated from the whole plant of Sida acuta. Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis including MS, 1D and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy. Among those compounds, compounds 1 , 2 , and 3 showed significant antioxidant effect (EC₅₀ = 86.9, 68.2, and 70.9 μM, respectively) in the DPPH radicals scavenging activity assay.

大戟属三萜类结构及生物活性

大戟属植物在全世界分布有2000多种,对于本属植物二萜类成分及生物活性的综述报道较多,但是还未见关于三萜类化学成分及生物活性的综述报道。本文综述了该属植物各种类型三萜化合物（羊毛脂烷型、环阿尔廷烷型、大戟烷型、甘遂烷型、齐敦果烷型、乌苏烷型及羽扇豆烷型等）的化学性能以及抗肿瘤、抗炎抗菌、抗病毒等主要生物活性的研究。     

Triterpenoids and diterpenoids from Viburnum chingii

Two new oleanane triterpenoids (1-2) and one new vibsane-type diterpenoid (3), together with 7 known compounds (4-10), were isolated from the leaves of Viburnum chingii. The structures of compounds 1-3 were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods including extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR technique. Cytotoxicity of compounds 1-10 were tested against HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, SK-BR-3, and PANC-1 cell lines. Compound 3 showed significant cytotoxicity against HL-60, SK-BR-3, and PANC-1 cell lines.
