AI Article Synopsis

  • Eight new linear polyacetylene glucosides (1-8) and three known polyacetylenes (9-11) were identified from the florets of Carthamus tinctorius L.
  • Their structures were determined using spectroscopic methods and chemical analysis, with the configurations of compounds 3-9 confirmed through a specific circular dichroism method.
  • All isolated compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit LPS-induced NO production in murine macrophages, showing only weak activity at a concentration of 1×10(-5)M.

Article Abstract

Eight new linear polyacetylene glucosides (1-8), containing two C(10)-, one C(13)- and five C(14)-acetylenes, together with three known polyacetylenes (9-11) were isolated from the florets of Carthamus tinctorius L. Their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods and chemical evidence. The absolute configurations of compounds 3-9 were confirmed by Snatzke and Gerards's method, observing the induced circular dichroism after addition of dirhodium tetrakis (trifluoroacetate) [Rh(2)(OCOCF(3))(4)] in CHCl(3). All the isolated compounds (1-11) were also tested for inhibitory activities against LPS-induced NO production in murine macrophages and just showed weak activities at concentrations of 1×10(-5)M.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the growth and lobetyolin synthesis of C. pilosula under continuous cropping stress, revealing that such stress significantly hinders plant growth and reduces lobetyolin levels.
  • Using advanced techniques like high-performance liquid chromatography and transcriptome analysis, researchers identified a potential biosynthesis pathway for lobetyolin linked to specific gene expressions.
  • Findings indicate that soil properties and microorganisms play a crucial role in root growth and lobetyolin production, highlighting their importance in addressing the challenges posed by continuous cropping in cultivation practices.

State Key Lab. of New Drug and Pharmaceutical Process, Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry, China State Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry, Shanghai 201203, China. Electronic address:

Five new polyacetylene derivatives (1-5), cyclocodonlandiynosides A-E, and eight known analogues (6-13) were isolated and identified from the fruits of Cyclocodon lancifolius. Their structures were established via spectroscopic and chemical methods, including NMR, HRESIMS, enzymatic hydrolysis, Mo(OAc)-induced circular dichroism and sugar derivatization. Compound 1 contains a nitrogenous fragment, which was rarely found in C14 polyacetylenes.
