Bishordeninyl Terpene Alkaloids from Zanthoxylum Integrifoliolum

Examination of the leaves of Zanthoxylum integrifoliolum led to the isolation of a new bishordeninyl alkaloid, integramine, along with alfileramine, α‐allocryptopine, pseudoprotopine and (+)‐sesamin from the tertiary non‐phenolic base fraction. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectral evidence.     

A New Sesquiterpene, α‐Santalane‐11,12,13‐Triol from the Root Bark of Severinia Buxifolia in Hainan

Anew sesquiterpenoid, α‐santalane‐11,12,13‐triol, together with thirty known compounds were isolated and characterized from the root bark of Severinia buxifolia in Hainan. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. The relationship between constituents and collecting area is also discussed.     

Total synthesis of (±)-megistophylline I

(±)-Megistophylline I (1), carrying a dienone residue in the acridone framework, was synthesized using the Claisen rearrangement to introduce a prenyl group as a key step.     

Structure and Synthesis of Evofolin-C from Tetradium glabrifolium

A new benzenoid compound evofolin-C was isolated from the heartwood of Tetradium glabrifolium (Evodia meliaefolia). The structure was elucidated by spectral analysis. The synthesis of evofolin-C is described.     

Chemical Constituents from the Root Wood of Zanthoxylum Integrifoliolum

Two new phenylpropanoids, integrifoliolin ( 1 ) and integrifoliodiol ( 2 ), together with 23 known compounds, have been isolated from the root wood of Zanthoxylum integrifoliolum. The structures of these compounds were determined by means of spectral analyses. The reported anti‐HIV constituents of decarine and γ‐fagarine were also isolated from the root wood of this plant.     

VOLATILE COMPOUNDS FROM Haplophyllum myrtifolium

The volatile fractions of the petroleum ether extract and of the alkaloid extract ofHaplophyllum myrtifoliumBoiss., endemic to Turkey, were trapped by using the Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) technique and analyzed by GC/MS. Forty-seven compounds were characterized from the petroleum ether extract of the aerial parts with -caryophyllene (14.6 %), decane (11.4 %), and -phellandrene (7.0 %) as the major components. Chavibetol (21.9 %), eugenol (19.1 %), methyleugenol (10.8 %), trans-linalool oxide (7.1 %) and -cyclocitral (6.0 %) were identified as the major components among the forty-two compounds characterized in the chloroform eluate of the alkaloid extract.

Chemical Constituents from the Leaves of Zanthoxylum Schinifolium

cis‐Fagaramide ( 1 ), a new amide, together with fifty known compounds, have been isolated from the leaves of Zanthoxylum schinifolium. These known compounds include twenty‐one coumarins, eleven alkaloids, one furan, four benzenoids, three chlorophylls, four triterpenoids, one diterpenoid, one sesquiterpenoid, and four steroids. The structures of these compounds were determined by means of spectral analyses.     

A new phenolic lactone from the bark of Phellodendron chinense

A new phenolic lactone,named phellolactone(1) was isolated from the bark ofPhellodendron chinense Schneid and its structure was elucidated by means of extensively spectroscopic methods,including IR,UV,HRESI-MS and NMR techniques.
