青海歧穗大黄及其生长土壤中9种无机元素含量特征

为对比青海高原境内不同生境歧穗大黄中9种无机元素含量特征,用原子吸收光谱法分析了其宏量元素K、Na、Ca、Mg、P及微量元素Cu、Zn、Fe、Mn含量。结果表明,青海歧穗大黄植物与其土壤环境呈现出不同的无机元素含量特征,但一致表现为Ca和P在植物的富集,且植物中P含量随海拔升高而明显增加,Zn含量随海拔升高而增加。     

碱催化法衍生化气相色谱/质谱法分析青海湖裸鲤鱼油中的脂肪酸

用碱催化法将青海湖裸鲤鱼油甲酯化,以气相色谱/质谱法分析鱼油中的脂肪酸。青海湖裸鲤可食用部分中鱼油含量为25.13%。从鱼油中共鉴定出47种脂肪酸,包括直链、单支链、多支链饱和脂肪酸,单不饱和、多不饱和脂肪酸,环丙烷基、呋喃基脂肪酸等。不饱和脂肪酸含量为73.6%,其中多不饱和脂肪酸含量为25.4%,以C18∶2(4.9%),C18∶3(3.1%),C20∶4(1.3%),C20∶5(二十碳五烯酸（EPA）, 9.4%)和C22∶6(二十二碳六烯酸（DHA）, 6.7%)为主。单不饱和脂肪酸含量为48.2%,主要由C16∶1(20.3%),C18∶1(25.9%)构成。饱和脂肪酸含量为25.7%,主要有C14∶0(3.4%),C16∶0 (19.4%)和C18∶0(1.1%)。青海湖裸鲤鱼油中还存在不常见的环丙烷基和呋喃基脂肪酸及多种奇数碳链和支链脂肪酸。因此,青海湖裸鲤是功能性脂肪酸的重要膳食来源。     

Four new compounds from Ligularia virgaurea: isolation of eremophilane and noreremophilane sesquiterpenoids and the absolute configuration of 2α-hydroxyeremophil-11-en-9-one by CD spectrum and DFT calculation

Four new compounds, rearranged noreremophilan-8,6-olide, rearranged dinoreremophilanone, epoxy γ-lactone, and 2α-hydroxyermophil-11-en-9-one, along with eremophilenolides related to ligularol and other known terpenoids, were isolated from Ligularia virgaurea (ligularol type) collected from the northern Sichuan Province of China. Three of the new compounds had degraded and unique structures. The absolute configuration of 2α-hydroxyermophil-11-en-9-one was determined on the basis of density functional theory calculation. The back octant rule cannot be applied to this compound because of the contribution of the hydroxy group to the front octant.     

Sesquiterpenoids and Lignans from Ligularia virgaurea spp. oligocephala

From the BuOH extract of the whole plant of Ligularia virgaurea spp. oligocephala, a series of sesquiterpenes, sesquiterpene glycosides, and lignan glycosides were isolated, including the three new compounds (1α)‐1‐hydroxy‐8‐oxo‐eremophila‐6,9‐dien‐12‐oic acid ( 1 ), 8‐[(β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl)oxy]eremophila‐1(10),8,11‐trien‐2‐one ( 2 ), and 4‐[(β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl)oxy]pinoresinol ( 4 ). Their structures were elucidated by 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR as well as HR‐ESI‐MS analyses, and by comparison of the spectroscopic data with those reported for structurally related compounds.     

Isolation of new eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids, subspicatins A-D and subspicatolide from Ligularia subspicata, and chemical and genetic diversity of the species

New C-1 oxidized eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids, subspicatins A, B, C, and D, and subspicatolide, were isolated from the root of Ligularia subspicata and their structures were established by spectroscopic and X-ray analyses. Subspicatins A and B were the major components. The species were found to be diverse both in the composition of the root chemicals and in the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the ribosomal RNA gene and the atpB-rbcL intergenic region, but the difference among the samples was not distinct but continuous.

Eremophilane,bakkane, secoeremophilane,and secobakkane sesquiterpenoids from Ligularia virgaurea collected in China

Secobakkane B (C-6/C-7 cleaved secobakkane type aldehyde), secovirgaurenols B and C (C-8/C-9 cleaved secoeremophilane type), a 1β,10β-epoxyfuranoeremophilane, two 1β,10β-epoxyeremophilanolides, and fukinospirolide C (bakkane-type lactone), as well as 33 known compounds were isolated from three samples of Ligularia virgaurea collected in China. Two of the three analyzed samples were grouped in the neoadenostylone (N) type, and the rest, a mixture of the 6-hydroxyeuryopsyn (H) and cacalol (C) types, out of five chemotypes found in this species.     

Sesquiterpenes from Ligularia Hodgsonii

A new nor‐sesquiterpenoid eremophilane derivative and a new eudesmane derivative were isolated from the whole plants of Ligularia hodgsonii. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and 2D NMR techniques.     

Eremophilane‐Type Sesquiterpenes from the Roots of Ligularia virgaurea

From the roots of Ligularia virgaurea, five new eremophilane‐type sesquiterpenes were isolated, including three new eremophilenolides, 6β‐(angeloyloxy)‐1α,8β,10β‐trihydroxyeremophil‐7(11)‐en‐12,8α‐olide ( 1 ), 6β‐(angeloyloxy)‐1β,10β‐epoxy‐8β‐ethoxyeremophil‐7(11)‐en‐12,8α‐olide ( 2 ), and 1β,10β‐epoxy‐8β‐ethoxy‐6β‐[(2‐methylacryloyl)oxy]eremophil‐7(11)‐en‐12,8α‐olide ( 3 ), two new noreremophilanes, 3β‐[(2‐methylacryloyl)oxy]‐8‐oxo‐12‐noreremophil‐6‐en‐11‐one ( 9 ), and 9β‐hydroxy‐8‐oxo‐12‐noreremophil‐6‐en‐11‐one ( 10 ), and six known eremophilanes, namely 4 – 8 , and 11 . Their structures were elucidated by means of spectral methods, such as IR, HR‐ESI‐MS, and 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR, and by comparison of the spectral data with those reported for structurally related compounds.
