Six Tahitian liverworts, Trichocolea pluma, Chandonanthus hirtellus, Mastigophora diclados, Jungermannia sp., Plagiochila sp. and Cyathodium foetidissimum were chemically investigated. All of these liverworts produce their own characteristic compounds. Vanillic acid methyl ester was isolated for the first time from T. pluma. Skatol is responsible for the very intense unpleasant odor of C. foetidissimum. Herbertane-type sesquiterpenoids are peculiar components of M. diclados, and fusicoccane-type diterpenoids were identified in Pagiochila sp. Cembranes and ent-verticillanes were isolated from C. hirtellus and also detected in Jungermannia species. C. hirtellus also biosynthesizes algal components and such results may suggest that some liverworts originate from algae.

Eight azukisapogenol triterpene glycosides, including five new compounds, oxychiliotriterpenosides A–E (1–5), two new methyl glucuronide derivatives that proved to be artifacts, oxychiliotriterpenoside E-glucuronic acid methyl ester (6) and myrioside B-glucuronic acid methyl ester (7), and a known one, myrioside B (8), was isolated from the aerial part of Oxytropis chiliophylla Royle. Their structures were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods. Triterpene glycosides were first obtained from O. chiliophylla, and those containing a galactose unit (1, 2, 5 and 6) and diglucosidic or triglucosidic linkage at C-29 (1–4), were reported from Oxytropis species for the first time, which might be recognized as a chemotaxonomic feature of O. chiliophylla. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities against NO production using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells, but no compounds showed potent inhibition on NO production.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of oak chips-supplementations on phenolic compound profiles of grape vinegar samples. Total acidity, volatile acids, non-volatile acids, pH, dry extract, ash, color, alcohol, total phenolic compound, individual phenolic compounds and aroma compounds of un supplemented control (UC) samples and oak chips-supplemented (OCS) samples were analyzed at the 0th, 1st and 3rd months of ageing. Total phenolic compound of UC vinegar samples was measured as 1256.50 mg GAE/L at the end of the 3rd month. Total phenolic compound of OCS vinegar samples was measured as 1521.03 mg GAE/L at the end of the 1st month and as 1470.67 mg GAE/L at the end of the 3rd month. Gallic acid, catechin and vanillic acid contents of UC vinegar samples were respectively measured as 8.43 mg/L, 22.26 mg/L and 1.78 mg/L at the end of the 3rd month. Gallic acid, catechin and vanillic acid contents of OCS vinegar samples were respectively measured as 19.12 mg/L, 17.98 mg/L and 2.58 mg/L at the end of the 3rd month. The 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester and 9-octadecanoic acid methyl ester quantities increased at the end of the 3rd month with oak chips-supplementation to ageing process. It was observed that oak chips-supplementation increased total phenolic compound and some individual phenolics of grape vinegar samples.

AbstractFive phenolic compounds, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester (1), vanillic acid methyl ester (2), 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde (3), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4) and ferulic acid (5), and four flavonoids, 5,5′-dihydroxy-4′,6,7-trimethoxyflavanone (6), luteolin (7), vitexicarpin (8) and artemetin (9), were isolated from fruits and leaves of Vitex rotundifolia L. The biological activities of these nine compounds have been examined using a bioassay with lettuce seedlings.

The accumulation of volatile metabolites in liquid cultures of the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum odoratum CBS 444.61 was studied after cultivation on defined synthetic liquid culture medium containing glucose (2%), asparagine (0.15%), and mineral salts. The composition of the steam volatile compounds differed distinctly from that obtained with another, previously investigated strain of this species. Two major constituents, the bicyclic sesquiterpene alcohol drimenol and a linalool derivative, 3,7-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-6-octenic acid methyl ester, could be identified by mass spectral data and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Besides several monoterpene alcohols, other minor constituents were trans-linalool oxide and 1-octen-3-ol. 3,7-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-6-octenic acid methyl ester is described for the first time as a natural product.

The alcoholic extract of the Apocynum venentum (AV)bark were purified by silica gel column chromatography. The isolated chemical constituents were identified by MS, NMR, IR spectra. The main chemicals isolated from AV bark were quercetin (1), kaempferol (2), isoquercitrin (3), luteolin (4), hyperoside(5), 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (6), b-sitosterol (7), stigmasterol (8), 3, 4-dihydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (9), 3, 5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (10) and 3, 4-dihydroxy-benzoic acid (11). The compounds (1)~(6) and (8)~(11) were obtained from AV bark for the first time.

Abstract The novel liehen substance porphyrilic acid methyl ester and pannaric acid are reported the first time in the lichen genus Psoroma. They are constituents in the two varieties of the new species Psoroma tenue as well as in members of the Psoroma hypnorum/paleaceum aggr. and in a hitherto underscribed species from the southern hemisphere. Both dibenzofuranes are characterized by mass spectrometry and UV/VIS spectroscopy. A third compound of unknown structure (Ut) has been found additionally in the two varieties of P. tenue and in some specimens of the P. hypnorum/paleaceum group.

Nine phenolic compounds, such as cis-/trans-p-coumaric acid, cis-/trans-p-coumaric acid methyl ester, glucose ester of cis-/trans-p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid methyl ester, kaempferol 7-O-β-d-glucoside and kaempferol 3-O-β-d-glucoside, were isolated from Lavatera trimestris flowers by chromatographic techniques and their structures were elucidated by spectral means (NMR). All compounds were tested for their antioxidant activity, while the methanolic extract was tested also for its antimicrobial activity. Also several non-polar constituents have been identified using GC and GC/MS methods. This is the first time that phenolic esters and non-polar constituents were identified in the flowers of L. trimestris L.

Ten compounds were separated and purified by chromatographic methods from the 70% ethanol extract of the leaves of Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus (Rupr. & Maxim.). Their structures were identified according to their physicochemical properties and the spectral data of dihydromyricetin (1), quercetin (2), taxifolin (3), naringenin (4), liquiritigenin (5), butein (6), syringaresinol (7), dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (8), gallic acid methyl ester (9), and alphitolic acid (10). Compounds 1, 3, 6, and 10 were isolated from the genus Eleutherococcus for the first time. All compounds showed weak cytotoxic activity against the A549 cell line.
