A rare noriridoid and six known phenolic compounds were isolated from the parasite plant Rhopalocnemis phalloides. Using spectroscopic methods, these compounds were identified as 10-acetoxy- cis-2-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-7-en-3-one (1), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (2), protocatechuic acid (3), gallic acid (4), coniferyl aldehyde (5), l- O-trans-cinnamoyl-β-D-glucoside (6), and coniferin (7). The noriridoid compound is the first reported from the family Balanophoraceae. Of the isolated compounds, coniferyl aldehyde had the strongest inhibitory effect on nitric oxide production (IC50 = 8.24 μM).

The rate of decomposition of the three phenolic acids, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid and gallic acid, whose difference is the amount of OH-groups, was investigated in the soil. With the increase in OH-groups increases the rate of microbial decomposition. Gallic acid decomposes faster than protocatecuic acid and this again faster than p-hydroxybenzoic acid.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most significant vegetable crops for humans along with corn, wheat, and rice. In this study, quantitative analysis of phenolic compounds was carried out for 21 promising potato clones and three commercial cultivars. LC–MS/MS was used for the chemical analyses. The TOGU 3/518 clone had the highest level of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid as 138.51 ± 7.35 µg/kg. TOGU 12/29 and TOGU 2/198 clones, on the other hand, had 126.24 ± 2.29 and 125.29 ± 2.74 µg/kg of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, respectively. Salicylic acid which is a pharmaceutically significant compound was found in TOGU 3/518 clone (125.66 ± 11.51 µg/kg) as a major product. This compound was also found in TOGU 2/198 (111.27 ±1.31 µg/kg) and TOGU 12/29 clones (111.07 ± 3.68 µg/kg) as the third and fourth most abundant. In terms of caffeic acid, TOGU 3/110 clone contained the highest level (42.50 ± 3.73 µg/kg). While TOGU 7/146 clone included the most protocatechuic acid (53.98 ± 1.47 µg/kg), TOGU 3/480 clone consisted of most gentisic acid (30.79 ± 0.51 µg/kg). Quercetin, an important flavonoid found many aromatic and medicinal plants, was highest in TOGU 12/29 clone (6.27 ± 0.15 µg/kg).

AbstractDespite the richness and biodiversity of invertebrates and algae in the Mediterranean Sea, these organisms are still poorly studied. The objective of our research is the discovery of bioactive lead compounds from the Mediterranean Sea sponge Hemimycale Collumella (HC). HC sponge (189.0 g) was collected from Mdiq costs on the Mediterranean Sea and extracted with methanol to yield (10 g) which was then subjected to fractionation. A bio-guided protocol was applied through evaluation of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), α-amylase, β-glucosidase, pancreatic lipase inhibition as well as anti-collagenase, anti-elastase, antityrosinase and cytotoxic activity. 2,3-O-Hexahydroxydiphenoyl-(α/β)-glucose (1) and gentisic acid 2-O-β-glucoside (2) were isolated from the water fraction, quercetin-3-O-β-glucopyranoside (3), kaempferol 3-O-β-glucopyranoside (4) and isorhamnetin 3-O-β-glucopyranoside (5) from n-butanol fraction, gallic acid (6) from ethyl acetate fraction and gallic acid-3-methyl ether (7) from methylene chloride fraction. Compound 5 had the highest DPPH and ORAC activity. Compounds 1–5 had promising lipase inhibition activities which exceeded that of the standard Orlistat, while compounds 1–7 showed anti-tyrosinase activity higher than that of the standard Hydroquinone monomethyl ether. This is the first report for evaluation of the biological activities of 2, 3-O-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-(α/β)-glucose (1), gentisic acid 2-O-β-glucoside (2) and gallic acid-3-methyl ether (7).

Further investigations on the biosynthesis of benzoic acids in Gaultheria procumbens L. have shown that besides salicylic acid all the other benzoic acids (gentisinic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, o-pyrocatechuic acid(?), syringic acid and vanillinic acid) can be formed from cinnamic acid. In the case of vanillinic acid it was proved that the total activity is located in the carboxyl group when cinnamic acid-[3-14C] is the precursor.Formiat-14C is incorporated into the methylester group of methylsalicylate.

The aim of this study was to identify the chemical constituents of Loropetalum chinense (R. Brown) Oliv. (LCO) and determine which of these had antioxidant effects. The chemical composition of a 70% ethanol extract of LCO was analyzed systematically using UHPLC–Q-TOF-MS/MS. The chemical components of the 70% ethanol extract of LCO were then separated and purified using macroporous resin and chromatographic techniques. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using a DPPH assay. In total, 100 compounds were identified tentatively, including 42 gallic acid tannins, 49 flavones, and 9 phenolic compounds. Of these, 7 gallium gallate, 4 flavonoid and 8 quinic acid compounds were separated and purified from the 70% ethanol extract of LCO. The compounds identified for the first time in LCO and in the genus Loropetalum were 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-(6′-O-galloyl)-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, protocatechuic acid, ethyl gallate, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-O-diocaffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-O-diocaffeoylquinic acid and 3,4-O-diocaffeoylquinic acid. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of compounds 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-d-glucose, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, and ethyl gallate were 1.88, 1.05, 1.18, and 1.05 μg/mL, respectively. Compared with the control group (VC) (2.08 μg/mL), these compounds exhibited stronger anti-oxidation activity. This study offered considerable insight into the chemical composition of LCO, with preliminary identification of the antioxidant ingredients.

Feeding experiments with glucose- (2-14C), phenylalanine- (3-14C), tyrosine- (3-14C) and p-coumaric acid- (3-14C) showed that the latter three substances are incorporated in good yields into p-hydroxybenzoic acid in leaves of Catalpa ovata. Kinetic experiments showed that p-hydroxybenzoic acid is formed from phenylalanine via p-coumaric acid and the subsequent β-oxidation of the side chain. p-Hydroxybenzoic acid can also be synthetised by hydroxylation of benzoic acid, but this does not seem to be the biosynthetic route in Catalpa.Phenylalanine- (3-14C) is also incorporated into benzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, and vanillic acid by different plants; the radioactivity of the β-C atom of the amino acid was found in each case to be located in the carboxyl group of the C6 — C1 acid. This suggests that in higher plants the benzoic acids are formed from the corresponding cinnamic acids via β-oxidation.
