Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of Ferula latisecta and Mozaffariania insignis from Iran

The hydrodistilled oils from the aerial parts of Ferula latisecta and Mozaffariania insignis, which is endemic to Iran, were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. (Z)-Ocimenone (32.4%), (E)-ocimenone (20.3%), and cis-pinocarvone (11.4%) were the main components among the 22 constituents characterized in the oil of F. latisecta, representing 87.7% of the total components detected. Twenty-five compounds were identified in the oil of M. insignis, representing 99.0% of the total oil, with octyl acetate (41.1%), β-pinene (30.3%), and α-pinene (23.9%) as the main constituents. The essential oils were examined for their potential antimicrobial activities. Published in Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 561–563, November–December, 2006.     

宽叶秦岭藤根部的化学成分

通过正相和反相硅胶柱层析从宽叶秦岭藤根部乙醇提取物中分离纯化得到19个化合物,经波谱分析并结合化学方法鉴定了其结构,其中4个为新化合物,它们分别是3,5-二羟基二十烷酸羽扇豆醇酯(3),2-羟甲基-5-甲氧基苯基-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖甙(11),Δ5-孕甾烯-3β,20(S)-二醇-20-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基(1→6)-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖甙(18,秦岭藤甙C)和Δ5-孕甾烯-3β,20(S)-二醇-3-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基-20-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基(1→6)-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖甙(19,秦岭藤甙D).     

Insignin A, A Novel C_21-Steroidal Aglycone from Biondia insignis

The genus Biondia having six species is exclusively distributed in China. But none of them was investigated in the aspect of phytochemistry before this work. From the view of plant taxonomy, the genus Biondia in the Trib. Asclepiadeae is close to the genus Cynanchum, and the plants of the latter mainly contain C21-steroids. In order to investigate whether the plants of the genus Biondia have C21-steroidal compounds and what kind of skeleton they may have, the whole plant of Biondia insigni…     

A New Sesquiterpene from the Roots of Biondia hemsleyana

A new sesquiterpene with a unusual modified germacrane skeleton was isolated from the ethanol extracts of the roots of Biondia hemsleyana and its structure was elucidated as 3β-hydroxy-4,14-cyclogermacra-11-en-9-one by the spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography.     

Brainin A,a novel flavanol from Brainea insignis

A novel flavanol bearing phenylpropionic acid moiety at C-4 through a C-C bonding,named brainin A(1),was isolated from the rhizomes of Brainea insignis.Its structure was elucidated on the basis of spectral data including 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS.     

A Novel Pregnane Glycoside from Biondia chinensis

A novel pregnane glycoside, biondianoside E, was isolated from the roots of Biondia chinensis. By the spectroscopic and chemical methods, this structure was elucidated as 3β, 5β,14β, 20S, 21-pentahydroxypregnane 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-cymaropyranoside.     

A new furan derivative from an endophytic Aspergillus tubingensis of Decaisnea insignis (Griff.) Hook.f. & Thomson

A new furan derivative named 3-(5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl) propanoic acid (1) was isolated for the first time. Its structure was elucidated by UV, IR, NMR, HR-ESI-MS and the single-crystal X-ray diffraction spectroscopic data. Meanwhile, the antifungal and antibacterial activities of compound 1 was tested, it exhibited potent antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum with MIC value of 16?µg/mL and medium antibacterial activity against Streptococcus lactis with MIC value of 32?µg/mL.     

Two New Cardenolide Glycosides from Biondia hemsleyana

Two new cardenolide glycosides, biondianosides A and B, were isolated from the roots of endemic plant of Biondia hemsleyana (Warb.) Tsiang. Their structures were elucidated as periplogenin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranosyl(1→4)-β-D-cymaropyranoside (1) and 17βH-periplogenin-3-O-β-D-cymaropyranoside (2) by the spectroscopic and chemical methods.     

A Rarely Reported Trinorsesquiterpene‐Type Structure in an Isolate from Pulicaria insignis

A trinorsesquiterpene, 1 , and its possible precursor sesquiterpene 2 were obtained from the Tibetan folk medicine Pulicaria insignis (Ming?chen?serpo). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral methods including 2D‐NMR. The trinorsesquiterpene skeleton of 1 is the second example of this type of structure found in a plant, after a first compound of this type was isolated from bird's nest fungi (Cyanthus bulleri).     

2D NMR对栌菊木中的一个倍半萜内酯进行结构解析
