A New Triterpene from the Orchid Pholidota yunnanensis

A new triterpene, 25-methylenecyclopholidonyl p-hydroxy-trans-cinnamate, was isolated from a orchid Pholidota yunnanensis. The structure elucidation and ^1H, ^13C-NMR assignments were achieved by spectral and chemical method.     

A New Bibenzyl Glycoside from Dendrobium moniliforme

Four Novel Phenanthrene Derivatives with α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activity from Gastrochilus bellinus

Four new phenanthrene derivatives, gastrobellinols A-D (1–4), were isolated from the methanolic extract of Gastrochilus bellinus (Rchb.f.) Kuntze, along with eleven known phenolic compounds including agrostophyllin (5), agrostophyllidin (6), coniferyl aldehyde (7), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (8), agrostophyllone (9), gigantol (10), 4-(methoxylmethyl)phenol (11), syringaldehyde (12), 1-(4′-hydroxybenzyl)-imbricartin (13), 6-methoxycoelonin (14), and imbricatin (15). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Each isolate was evaluated for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compounds 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 13, and 15 showed higher activity than the drug acarbose. Gastrobellinol C (3) exhibited the strongest α-glucosidase inhibition with an IC₅₀ value of 45.92 μM. A kinetic study of 3 showed competitive inhibition on the α-glucosidase enzyme. This is the first report on the phytochemical constituents and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of G. bellinus.

New biphenantherene and nervogenic acid derivatives from Liparis regnieri Finet and their inhibitory activities against NF-κB activation

A phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Liparis regnieri Finet led to the isolation of one new biphenantherene (1) and ten new nervogenic acid derivatives (2–11), together with nine known compounds. Their structures were elucidated mainly by extensive analyses of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data and chemical reactions. Additionally, for the first time a previously unreported biphenantherene was discovered to effectively suppress TNF-α induced expression of NF-κB-Luc in Hela cells with the IC₅₀ value of 1.80 μM and the structure-activity relationshipwas also discussed.     

Complete assignments of 1H and 13C NMR data of three new dihydrophenanthrofurans from Pleione yunnanensis

Three new dihydrophenanthrofurans, pleionesins A–C (1–3), together with two known dihydrophenanthrenes (4–5) were isolated from the tubers of Pleione yunnanensis (Rolfe). The complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra assignments of these compounds were carried out using 1D and 2D NMR experiments (¹H, ¹³C, selective 1D NOE, HSQC and HMBC).
