A new macrocyclic γ- pyrone (10) and two known γ- pyrones (2) and (6) have been isolated from a Victorian collection of Phacelocarpus peperocarpos. The Z geometry about ∆17,18 in (2) has been established for the first time. All structure elucidations were supported by detailed spectroscopic analysis.

Euphorbia tirucalli has not been chemically studied much in Vietnam. This research described the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the plant collected in Binh Thuan. Multiple chromatographic methods were applied, including normal phase silica gel column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Seven compounds were isolated and their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis as well as comparing their data with the ones in the literature. They are arjunolic acid (1), eriodictyol (2), quercitrin (3), afzelin (4), scopoletin (5), 3,3′,4- trimethylellagic acid (6), and gallic acid (7). Among them, compound 1 a major component was isolated for the first time in Euphorbia genus, while three compounds 2, 4, and 5 were isolated from this species for the first time.

Five new pargueranes, 15-bromoparguer-9(11)-ene-2,7,16,19-tetrol 2,7,16-triacetate (20), 15-bromoparguer-9(11)-ene-2,7,16-triol 2,7-diacetate (21), 15-bromoparguer-9(11)-ene-2,16-diol 2-acetate (22), 15-bromoparguer-9(11)-en-16-ol (23) and 15-bromoisoparguer-9(11)-en-16-ol (24), together with a plausible biosynthetic precursor, preparguerene (25), two known parguerenes , 15-bromoparguer-9(11)-ene-2,7,16,19-tetrol tetraacetate (4) and 15-bromoparguer-9(11)-ene-2,7,16-triol 2,16 diacetate (7), and the known algal metabolites (-)- aromadendrene (17), austradiol acetate (18) and austradiol diacetate (19), have been isolated from a collection of the southern Australian marine red alga Laurencia filiformis. The known synthetic parguerane 15-bromoparguer-9(11)-ene-2,7-16-triol triacetate (5) was also found for thefirst time as a natural product. In addition to securing the structures of new compounds by chemical correlation and detailed spectroscopic analysis, a lausible biosynthetic pathway has been proposed linking preparguerene, parguerene, isoparguerene and secoparguerene carbon skeletons.

Three long-chain unsaturated esters (1-3), a fatty acid (4), a fatty ester (5), phytone (6) and a phloroglucinol (hyperfoliatin) (7) were isolated from the light petroleum extract of the endemic species Hypericum tomentosum L. (Clusiaceae). Compound 2, 8,10,13-trimethyltetradecanoic acid (2E)-3-methylhexadec-2-enyl ester, which we named tomentosate, is reported for the first time. The structures of the identified compounds were established on the basis of physical and spectroscopic analysis, and by comparison with literature data.

A new phenolic glycoside and three known compounds were isolated from the seeds of Cucurbita moschata. The structures of the new compound was elucidated as phenylcarbinyl 5-O-(4-hydroxy)benzoyl-β-D-apiofuranosyl (1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidence. Three known compounds were identified as 1-O-benzyl[5-O-benzoyl-β-D-apiofuranosyl(1→2)]-β-D-glucopyranoside 2, cucurbitosides C 3 and A 4, by comparison of the spectral data with reported data. Compound 2 was isolated from this plant for the first time.

A new octadecatrienoic acid and a new benzyl glycoside, along with a known compound, were isolated from the leaves of Smallanthus sonchifolius. The structures of the two new compounds were elucidated as 13(R)-hydroxy-octadeca-(9E,11E,15Z)-trienoic acid (1) and benzyl alcohol 7-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl(1″→2′)-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidence. The known compound was identified as 13(R)-hydroxy-octadeca-(9Z,11E,15Z)-trienoic acid (3) by comparison of its spectral data with that reported. Compound 3 was isolated for the first time from the title plant.

Abstract During the systematic search of active compounds from endophytic fungi, two new butyrolactones, namely aspernolides L (2) and M (4), together with four known compounds: 1-O-acetylglycerol (1), butyrolactone I (3), butyrolactone VI (5), and (+) alantrypinone (6) were characterized from the EtOAc extract of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus versicolor isolated from the roots of Pulicaria crispa (Asteraceae). Extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D, 2D NMR, and HRESIMS, was used to elucidate their structures. Compounds 1, 5, and 6 are reported for the first time from this fungus.

The genus Acacia has been known to be a rich source of many secondary metabolites. This study was carried to isolate chemical constituents present in the stem bark of Acacia auriculiformis. The dichloromethane extract of the stem bark of Acacia auriculiformis was obtained by maceration. The extract obtained was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and preparative TLC. The isolated compounds were identified by spectroscopic analysis. This led to the isolation of ferulic acid ester (I), along with a steroid (II) and a triterpenoid (III). The structure of compound I was established using spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, NMR and mass spectrometry) and identified to be dodecyl-4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-trans-cinnamate (I), compounds II and III were found to be á-spinasterol and lupenol respectively, based on the comparison of their spectral data NMR and MS with literature report. Compound I is being reported for the first time in the genus Acacia.

An investigation of the natural products chemistry of the red alga Laurencia marianensis Yamada, a species whose chemistry has not previously been described in the literature, yielded the new metabolite 1-[(3′S*,3a′lR*,4′R*,7′S*,7a′S*)-7′-bromo-7a′-methyl-3′-(1′-methylethyl)octahydro-1′H-inden-4′-yl] ethanone (1) and the known metabolites deoxyprepacifenol (2) and pacifenol (3). The full n.m.r. characterization of (2) and (3) is reported for the first time.

This report describes the isolation and structure elucidation of four new drimane sesquiterpenes (14)-(17) from a southern Australian marine sponge Dysidea sp. The structures for (14)-(17) were secured by detailed spectroscopic analysis, chemical interconversion and derivatization. Also reported are the known metabolites (+)- euryfuran (7), dihydropallescensin-2 (18), (-)- pallescensin-A (19) and (-)-7-deacetoxyolepupane (6). The rare co-occurrence of two antipodes, (7) and (19), in the same specimen highlights the dangers in assigning absolute stereochemistry based on 'unproven' biosynthetic relationships. The absolute stereochemistry for (6) has been unambiguously established for the first time by chemical interconversion to (7). Furthermore, the absolute stereochemistry of the new marine metabolites listed above, (14)-(17), were determined by chemical correlation to (6). A biosynthetic and ecological relationship is proposed between the metabolites from Dysidea sp. with the known marine and terrestrial antifeedant polygodial (8). Chemical investigations are reported that support this proposition.
