Background: Eucalyptus cinerea F. Muell. ex Benth. is native to Australia and acclimatized to Southern Brazil. Its aromatic leaves are used for ornamental purposes and have great potential for essential oil production, although reports of its use in folk medicine are few.
Objective: This study evaluated the composition of E. cinerea leaves using the solid state (13)C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and isolation of the compound from the semipurified extract (SE).
Materials And Methods: The SE of E. cinerea leaves was evaluated in the solid state by (13)C-NMR spectrum, and the SE was chromatographed on a Sephadex LH-20 column, followed by high-speed counter-current chromatography to isolate the compound. The SE was analyzed by (13)C-NMR and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight spectra.
Results: Flavan-3-ol units were present, suggesting the presence of proanthocyanidins as well as a gallic acid unit. The uncommon ent-catechin was isolated.
Conclusion: The presence of ent-catechin is reported for the first time in this genus and species.

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on the microbial transformation of notoginsenoside R1 to enhance its biological activity, isolating a strain of lactic acid bacteria from traditional foods that showed glycosidase-producing activity.
- The lactic acid bacteria strain S165, identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, was used for a 30-day fermentation process, resulting in the formation of a new compound, temporarily named notoginsenoside T6.
- Experimental results indicated that notoginsenoside T6 was more effective in reducing intestinal injury caused by LPS in Caco-2 cells compared to the original notoginsenoside R1, showcasing its protective effect on tight junction proteins.

The paper presents the results of determining the content of coumarin and its derivatives in the melilot using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, including the study of the effect of fertilizers on the quantitative content of coumarin and its derivatives in the composition of the melilot treated by phases using the method of 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Based on the results of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the possibility of qualitative and quantitative determination of the content of coumarin and its derivatives isolated from extracts of fertilized melilot was evaluated. The effect of eight preparations on the plant and its concentration in solution on the content of coumarin substances in the Altynbas yellow melilot variety was studied.

Aquatic humic substances (AHS) are defined as an important components of organic matter, being composed as small molecules in a supramolecular structure and can interact with metallic ions, thereby altering the bioavailability of these species. To better understand this behavior, AHS were extracted and characterized from Negro River, located near Manaus city and Carú River, that is situated in Itacoatiara city, an area experiencing increasing anthropogenic actions; both were characterized as blackwater rivers. The AHS were characterized by C nuclear magnetic ressonance and thermochemolysis GC-MS to obtain structural characteristics.

Enantioselective total synthesis of the aglycone of burnettramic acid A, an antifungal pyrrolizidinedione with a terminally mannosylated long acyl chain produced by Aspergillus fungi, has been achieved from a known carboxylic acid by a 14-step sequence. The key steps include 2 types of asymmetric alkylation, coupling of an acetylide intermediate with (S)-epichlorohydrin to provide an acetylenic epoxide in 1 pot, and the Birch reduction to effect desulfonylation, semi-reduction of triple bond, and debenzylation in a concurrent manner. Good agreement of the synthetic aglycone with naturally occurring one in 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, coupled with previously reported unambiguous stereochemical assignment of the sugar moiety, has confirmed the structure of burnettramic acid A.
