Chemical Compounds and Biologic Activities: A Review of Genus.

The genus P. Browne, which belongs to the Meliaceae family, has eighteen species. Trees of this genus are of economic interest due to wood quality, as well as being the focus of studies because of relevant biologic activities as in other Meliaceae species.

Bioanalytical method validation for the quantification of the chlorogenic acid in Capsicum baccatum through High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC-DAD).

The fruit pulp extracts of the species Capsicum baccatum are associated with a number of phenolic compounds. The aim of this study was to validate a bioanalytical method for the quantification of the chlorogenic acid present in the UENF 1613 de C. baccatum accession.

Two Novel Cycloartane-Type Triterpenes from C. DC. (Meliaceae).

Two new triterpenes cycloartane-type, named 24-methylencycloartan-12-oxo-3β,22α-diol and trichiliol, were isolated from the leaves of C. DC. together with three known triterpenes—24-methylencycloart-3β,22-diol, 22,25-dihydrocycloart-23()-en-3β-ol, and 22()-hydroxycycloart-24-en-3-ol.
