Published: September 2008

Objective: To study the chemical constituents from the ethyl acetate portion of an ethanolic extractive of the leaves of Aeschynanthus mengxinensis.

Method: The column chromatographic techniques were applied to isolate constituents. A combination of IR, ESI-MS, NMR and 2D-NMR spectroscopy was used to identify structures.

Result: Four compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of this plant, and the structure of them have identified as 2alpha, 3beta, 19beta-trihydroxyolean-12-ene-23,28-dioic acid (1), 2alpha, 3beta, 21beta-trihydroxyolean-12-ene-28-oic acid (2), 2alpha, 3beta, 23-trihydroxyurs-12-ene-28-oic acid (3) and stigmast-5 (6), 22 (23)-diene-3beta-ol (4).

Conclusion: The NMR data of compound 1 was completely assigned by 2D-NMR techniques, including HMBC and HMQC. Compounds 1-4 were isolated for the first time from Gesneriaceae.

Article Synopsis
  • A series of 14 conjugates combining 2α,3β,23-triacetyl-madecassic acid and silybin were created and tested for their effects on HepG2 cancer cells.
  • The conjugates were connected at specific positions (C-7 or C-3) and showed greater cytotoxicity than their parent compounds in initial tests.
  • The most effective conjugate, identified as compound 8, significantly impacted other cancer cell lines and induced specific cellular processes like apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, highlighting its unique biological effects compared to madecassic acid alone.

Chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyp (CRSsNP) is characterized by tissue repair/remodeling and the subepithelial stroma region in whose nasal mucosa has been reported by us to have thromboxane A (TXA) prostanoid (TP) receptor and overexpress connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between TP receptor activation and CTGF production/function in human CRSsNP nasal mucosa stromal fibroblasts. We found that TP agonists including U46619 and IBOP ([1S-[1α,2α(Z),3β(1E,3 S*),4α]]-7-[3-[3-hydroxy-4-(4-iodophenoxy)-1-butenyl]-7-oxabicyclo[2.

Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Natural Medicine Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150081, China.

Objective: To isolate bioactive compounds from the endophytic fungus isolated from , and investigate their pharmacological activities.

Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by combining with ODS column chromatography, silica gel column chromatography and by performing semipreparative HPLC. Their structures were established on the basis of 1D NMR (H-NMR and C-NMR) and 2D NMR (H-H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY), as well as HRESIMS and comparison with literature data.

Discovery and biosynthesis of bacterial drimane-type sesquiterpenoids from .

Beilstein J Org Chem

State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines, School of Traditional Chinese Pharmacy, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing 211198, China.

Drimane-type sesquiterpenoids (DMTs) are characterized by a distinctive 6/6 bicyclic skeleton comprising the A and B rings. While DMTs are commonly found in fungi and plants, their presence in bacteria has not been reported. Moreover, the biosynthetic pathways for DMTs have been primarily elucidated in fungi, with identified P450s only acting on the B ring.
