In the course of screening for the melanogenesis inhibitors, rengyolone was isolated from Eurya emarginata (Thumb) Makino. Its chemical structure was determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis including mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Rengyolone inhibited potent melanogenesis in melan-a cells with an IC50 value of 65 μM without cytotoxicity. Also, rengyolone showed a melanin biosynthesis inhibition zone in a culture plate of Streptomyces bikiniensis, which is commonly used as an indicator organism. Moreover, rengyolone dramatically reduced protein expression of melanogenic enzyme, tyrosinase. Furthermore, rengyolone presented inhibition on the body pigmentation in zebrafish model system and decreased melanin contents and tyrosinase activity. These results suggest that rengyolone isolated from E. emarginata may be an effective skin-whitening agent that regulates the expression of melanogenic enzymes.

In this study, a new acylated triterpene glycoside, 3--stearoyl-28-[2'-stearoyl--l-arabinopyranosyl]-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (), was isolated from the flowers of . In addition to this compound, eleven known compounds were also isolated, including a related pentacyclic triterpenoid: ursolic acid (), two cycloartane triterpenoids: 24-methylenecycloartanol () and 24-methylenecycloartane-3,28-diol (), three cyclohexylethane derivatives: (-)-rengyolone (), (-)-cleroindicin C () and (-)-cleroindicin D (), an iridoid: 6---feruloyl catalpol (), two phenylethanoid glycosides: salidroside () and verbascoside (), and two steroids: -sitosterol () and -sitosterol-3---d-glucopyranoside (). The chemical structures of these compounds were determined by analysing their HRMS and NMR spectroscopic data.

The synthesis of arylamines from renewable resources under mild reaction conditions is highly desired for the sustainability of the chemical industry, where the production of hazardous waste is a prime concern. However, to date, there are very few tools in chemists' toolboxes that are able to produce arylamines in a sustainable manner. Herein, a robust one-pot approach for constructing bio-based arylamines via a combined photooxidative dearomatization-rearomatization strategy is presented.

Chloroformic and methanolic extracts of four Clerodendrum species cultivated in Egypt were screened for antimicrobial activities. Chloroformic extracts of the flowers of Clerodendrum chinense and Clerodendrum splendens were active against Plasmodium falciparum (IC50 < 10 µg mL(-1)). Chloroformic extracts of the stem and flowers of C.
