Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Cichorium intybus L. resulted in the isolation and identification of two new natural metabolites, 2,6-di[but-3( E)-en-2-onyl]naphthalene (1), and 3,3′,4,4′-tetrahydroxychalcone (2), along with nine known compounds. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic techniques including 1D and 2D NMR. The known compounds were identified as scopoletin (3), 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (4), 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (5), 4,4′-dihydroxychalcone (6), 6,7-dihydroxycoumarine (7), 1-triacontanol (8), lupeol (9), β-sitosterol (10), and β-sitosterol-3- O-β-glucopyranoside (11). Compounds 4-6 and 8 are reported for the first time from C. intybus. Compounds 2 and 3 showed weak inhibitory activities against urease and α-chymotrypsin enzymes, respectively.

As part of our ongoing research into the pharmacologically active compounds of Chilean flora, here we did phytochemical investigation of Adesmia boronioides Hook.f (fabaceae). (Papilonaceae) leaves. This effort has led to isolation and identification of liqueritigenin, isoliquiritigenin, sesamin, isodrimenin and a kaempferol glycoside, kaempferol 3-O-β-D-[galactopyranosyl  (1–2) rhamnoside]-7-O –α-L-rhamnopyranoside.Compound structures were identified by 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments, mass and UV spectrometry and comparison with data from the literature. This is the first time these compounds have been isolated from this plant’s leaves.These active constituents have been studied further pharmacologically. Antioxidant properties in A. boronioides leaves were determined.

Three known polyol menthane monoterpenoids, namely, (4 R)-1- p-menthen-6,8-diol (1), (4 R)-1- p-menthen-4,7-diol (2), and (1 R,2 R,4 R)- p-menthane-1,2,4-triol (3), and 6 known phenolics (4-9), in addition to β-sitosterol 3- O-glucoside (10), were isolated from the aerial parts of Daucus carota subsp. hispidus (Ball) Heywood (Family: Apiaceae) growing in Tunisia. The structures of the isolated compounds were established depending upon the spectroscopic techniques including one and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D, and 2D NMR) and high resolution mass spectroscopy (HRMS). The absolute configuration of the compounds 1 to 3 was determined using experimental circular dichroism (CD) for the first time. Compounds 1 to 3 were reported for the first time from this plant. Compounds 1 to 3 exhibited no antimicrobial and antioxidant activity using superoxide dismutase-like activities. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited weak activity, while 1 showed negative cytotoxic activity against human mouth squamous carcinoma (HSC-2) and human cervical cells (HeLa) cancer cells.

Urena lobata L. is used in Vietnamese traditional medicine for the treatment of several diseases. Tree roots are used to treat rheumatism, dysentery, poor digestion, flu, tonsils, malaria, asthma, goiter. Flowers are used to treat chickenpox, fever, and mental disorders. Branches, leaves or whole trees used to treat injuries bruises, rheumatism, mastitis, bites. Phytochemical investigation of the n-hexan and ethyl acetate extract of Urena lobata L. led to the isolation of β-sitosterol (1), β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), a-acetylamino-phenylpropyl a-benzoylamino-phenylpropanoate (3), quercetin (4), and trans-tiliroside (5). Their chemical structures were determined by spectroscopic methods including MS, 1D, 2D NMR and comparing with those reported in previous papers. Two compounds 3, 5 were isolated for the first time from Urena lobata plant.

Phytochemical investigation on the stems of Pileostegia viburnoides Hook.f.et Thoms led to the isolation of twelve compounds, including two steroids (1 and 10), two fatty compounds (2 and 12), seven triterpenoids (3–9), and one coumarin glycoside (11). 24-methylene-5α-dammara-20(21)-en-3β-yl acetate (5), a rare dammarane-tetracyclic triterpene had been first reported just according to the typical 1H-NMR signals analysis, melting point and optical rotation in 1975. However, the complete and reliable NMR and mass data were still unknown. This is the first time to identify the planar and spatial structures of compound 5 by the analysis of 1D-, 2D-NMR, mass data and other physicochemical properties, as well as by comparison of the spectral data with the literature. Further more, the anti-inflammatory and anti-neuroinflammatory activities of dammarane-type triterpenes 4 and 5 were evaluated.

Compounds 1–13 were isolated from Santisukia genus for the first time. In addition, compounds 1–7, 9 and 10 were found to be active against HIV-1 in anti-syncytium assay, while only compounds 1 and 3 were found to be active (84.4% and 87.2% inhibition at 200 μg/mL, with IC50 values of 290.96 and 210.34 μM, respectively) against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Moreover, anti-HIV-1 activities of compounds 1, 3–8, and 13 were reported for the first time.

The present study reports the chemical constituents, antioxidant, anticonvulsant and α-amylase activities of the aerial part of Cyperus rotundus collected in Cameroon. Phytochemical study leads to the isolation of six known compounds alongwith lupeol (1), stigmasterol (2), tetracosanoic acid (3), a mixture of β-sitosterol (4a) and stigmasterol (4b), ursolic acid (5) and saikogenin F (6). Compounds 3, 5 and 6 were isolated for the first time from this species. The structures of these compounds were determined using spectroscopic analysis including 1D and 2D NMR, mass spectrometry and comparison with the literature data. Biological activities carried out on the extracts showed that the methanol extract exhibited good antiradical scavenging activity against DPPH radical (IC50 = 2.873 μg/mL) and very good ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) (IC50 = 7.535 μg/mL). It appeared that the mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate extract at the dose 100 mg/kg protected 66% of mice against convulsion induced by the pentylenetetrazol and 50% of protection when using picrotoxin at the same dose. All the extracts and compounds from this plant showed no inhibition against α-amylase related to antidiabetic activity.

The phytochemical investigation of an aqueous ethanolic extract of Galinsoga parviflora Cav. (Asteraceae) resulted in the isolation and identification of eleven compounds namely: triacontanol, phytol, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, 7-hydroxy-β-sitosterol, 7-hydroxystigmasterol, β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucoside, 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid, protocatechuic acid, fumaric acid, and uracil. Furthermore, 48 volatile constituents were identified in the hydrodistilled oil of the aerial parts. The ethanolic extract at a content of 400 mg/kg body weight (BW) exerted 87% reduction in the alanine aminotransferase enzyme level in cirrhotic rats compared with the standard silymarin (150 mg/kg BW) and also exerted a reduction in the blood glucose level equivalent to that of glibenclamide (5 mg/kg BW) in diabetic rats. The ethanolic extract, light petroleum and ethyl acetate fractions exhibited substantial antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger, and Candida albicans. The ethyl acetate fraction showed strong antioxidant activity at a concentration of 150 mg/mL as compared with 0.1 M ascorbic acid. The cytotoxic effect against the MCF-7 cell line was found to be weak

In addition, the absolute configuration of 1 was determined from the experimental ECD spectrum and comparison of this with the theoretical ECD calculations using the TDDFT method. Compounds 1 and 2 were isolated from nature for the first time. Compound 3 induced cytotoxic activity against SK-LU-1, MCF-7, HepG2, and SK-Mel-2 cell lines with IC50 values of 41.27 ± 2.63, 40.70 ± 2.65, 34.31 ± 3.43, and 36.63 ± 1.40 µM, respectively.
