Crystal structure of Staudtienic acid, a diterpenoid from Warb. (Myristicaceae).

This title compound, CHO, was isolated from the benzene fraction of the stem bark of Warb. (Myristicaceae) using column chromatography techniques over silica gel. The compound was fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, one and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, IR and MS spectrometry.

Three New Polyphenol Derivatives from the Fruits of Macaranga Monandra and their Antioxidant Potential.

Phytochemical investigation of the methanol extract from the fruits of Macaranga monandra (Euphorbiaceae Muell. et Arg.) afforded one new geranylated 1',2'-dihydrophenanthrene and two new flavonoid derivatives, named macamondrin (1), macamondrione A (2) and B (3) respectively.

Aridanin and oleanane-3- O-β-D-glucoside-2'-acetamide obtained from Tetrapleura tetraptera (Schumach. & Thonn) Taub. (Fabaceae) induces potent apoptotic activity in human prostate cancer cells.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Tetrapleura tetraptera (Schumach. and Thonn.) Taub.

Optimization of the Processing Conditions for the Production of a Gluten-Free Bread from Sour Cassava Starch () and Some Legumes (, , and ).

Background: Sour cassava starch is used as an alternative to wheat flour in breadmaking. However, its nutritional and technological properties are limited. To remedy this, the use of legumes has proved to be very successful.

Isolation, crystal structure and DFT study of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidinium nitrate isolated from the stembark of (Lamiaceae).

We present the results of the analysis of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-piperidinium nitrate isolated from the stem bark of a tree growing in Nigeria. The low-temperature molecular structure comprises one 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxopiperidinium cation and one nitrate anion as one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group 2/.

Ethnopharmacological Study of Medicinal Plants Used for the Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases and Their Associated Risk Factors in sub-Saharan Africa.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality, including deaths arising from non-communicable diseases in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Consequently, this study aimed to provide details of medicinal plants (MPs) employed in SSA for the treatment of CVDs and their related risk factors to open new avenues for the discovery of novel drugs. The extensive ethnopharmacological literature survey of these MPs in 41 SSA countries was based on studies from 1982 to 2021.

Chemical constituents from fruits of Vahl ex. DC (Connaraceae) and evaluation of their anticholinesterase and antiradical activities.

The phytochemical investigation of the DCM/MeOH (1:1) extract of the fruits of led to the isolation and characterization of one new quinic acid derivative, ferruginoic acid (), together with six known compounds . Compounds were reported for the first time from this species. The structures of compounds - were elucidated on the basis of 1 D and 2 D NMR spectroscopic data, mass spectrometry and by comparison of spectroscopic data with those from the literature.
