Calocedimers A, B, C, and D, together with four known compounds, platydiol, alpha-cadinol, ferrugiol, and 6,7-dehydroferrugiol, were isolated from the bark of Calocedrus macrolepis var. formosana. Calocedimers A, B, C, and D are the dimers of abietane-O-camphane, abietane-O-cadinane, abietane-O-abietane, and abietane-O-abietane, respectively. Their structures were elucidated from spectroscopic data.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by severe cognitive impairment, affects millions of people worldwide. However, AD therapy remains limited and mainly symptomatic-focused, with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors being the major available drugs. Thus, AD is considered by the WHO as a disorder of public health priority.

Background: The bark of Chinese fir (), the largest afforestation tree species in the forest areas of southern China, is susceptible to injuries and bites from small animals. The population of small animals has recently increased owing to improvements in the ecological environment across various forested areas, thus increasing the incidence of injuries in the bark of Chinese fir. Following such injuries, the bark secretes light yellow or milky white secretions, the function of which remains unclear.

Climate warming is altering snowpack permanence in alpine tundra, modifying shrub growth and distribution. Plant acclimation to snowpack changes depends on the capability to guarantee growth and carbon storage, suggesting that the content of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in plant organs can be a key trait to depict the plant response under different snow regimes. To test this hypothesis, we designed a 3-years long manipulative experiment aimed at evaluating the effect of snow melt timing (i.

In the Azores archipelago (Portugal), forest operations and wood industry generate large amounts of biomass residues (CJBR), which can be used to produce valuable essential oils (EOs). In this study, we evaluated the chemical composition and antioxidant activities of EOs from Azorean sawdust (CJS) and resin-rich bark (CJRRB). The CJS and CJRRB EOs, obtained via hydrodistillation, showed different yield values (0.

Phytochemical investigation of the bark of led to the isolation of five new abietane diterpenoids, 5--12-hydroxy-6--5,6-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7,5-olide (), 12-hydroxy-6β-methoxy-6,7-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7,6-olide (), 6β,12-dihydroxy-7,8-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7,8-olide (), 5,12-dihydroxy-7,8-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7,8-olide (), and 5α,8-epoxy-12-hydroxy-7,8-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7-al (), together with one known abietane diterpenoid, obtuanhydride (). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data and comparison with the spectral data of known analogs. At the concentration of 100 μg/mL, compounds , and inhibited antifungal activities against wood decay fungi activity by 18.
