Article Synopsis
- A study at Fukuoka University Hospital analyzed 415 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy to investigate chemotherapy-induced fatigue (CIF) and its risk factors from December 2020 to July 2022.
- The results showed a high prevalence of fatigue (56.4%), with nausea, vomiting, anorexia, low serum albumin, and high BUN/Cr ratio identified as significant risk factors.
- It was concluded that managing nausea and vomiting, along with monitoring nutritional status and dehydration, is essential for reducing fatigue and improving the quality of life for chemotherapy patients.
The 1-BuOH-soluble fraction of the methanol (MeOH) extract of Diospyros maritima was separated by chromatographic techniques to give three new oleanane-type and one new ursane-type triterpene glucoside, named ebenamariosides A-D (1-4); two megastigmanes were also isolated. The structures of triterpene glucosides was elucidated with extensive investigation by one and two dimensional NMR spectroscopy and the structures were confirmed by partial enzymatic hydrolyses to give the corresponding mono-glucosides and aglycones. The structures of the megastigmanes, including their absolute stereochemistries, were elucidated by spectroscopic evidence and by the modified Mosher's method.
