From the leaves of Salpichroa origanifolia three new withanolides, (20S,22R,24S,25S,26R)-5alpha,6alpha:22,26:24,25-triepoxy-15,26-dihydroxy-17(13-->18)-abeo-ergosta-2,13,15,17-tetraen-1-one (salpichrolide G, 1), (20S,22R,24S,25R)-5alpha,6alpha:22,26-diepoxy-24,25,26-trihydroxy-17(13-->18)-abeo-ergosta-2,13,15,17-tetraen-1-one (salpichrolide H, 2), and (20S,22R,25S)-5alpha,6alpha:22,26-diepoxy-25,26-dihydroxy-17(13-->18)-abeo-ergosta-2,13,15,17,23-pentaen-1-one (salpichrolide I, 3), were isolated and characterized by spectroscopic methods and with the aid of molecular modeling. The latter two compounds were obtained as an epimeric mixture at C-26.

The Novel Invader Modifies the Soil Seed Bank of a Mediterranean Mesophile Forest.
Plants (Basel)
January 2024
Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, 56124 Pisa, Italy.
The composition and structure of soil seed banks provide insight into the long-term implications of plant invasions on resident communities. The effect of (Sa) on the seed bank of a coastal mesophile forest (Tuscany) was studied by growing Sa-rhizomes in soils from low and high invaded sites, in full sun and canopy shade. Sa growth patterns, and the composition, biomass, nitrogen, and phosphorus contents of seedlings which emerged from seed banks were determined.

Article Synopsis
- Recent increases in cheese consumption and the rising cost of traditional rennet have sparked interest in finding plant-based alternatives for cheese production, particularly for those with dietary restrictions.
- This study investigates an aspartic protease from Salpichroa origanifolia fruits (SoAP), which was found to have lower milk-clotting capabilities compared to animal rennet but showed greater hydrolysis of α-casein.
- The identification of several bioactive peptides from different casein types suggests that SoAP could not only serve as an alternative rennet but also offer health benefits, making it suitable for artisan cheese manufacturing.

Unlabelled: Plant proteases play a fundamental role in several processes like growth, development and in response to biotic and abiotic stress. In particular, aspartic proteases (AP) are expressed in different plant organs and have antimicrobial activity. Previously, we purified an AP from Salpichroa origanifolia fruits called salpichroin.
