A novel triterpenoid saponin 3- O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(1→3)-2α,19α-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid [3- O-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(1′→3)-arjunic acid, 1], ten known compounds [six triterpenoids: α-amyrin (2), β-amyrin (3), germanicol (4), lupeol (5), friedelin (6), friedelanol (7); four steroids -campesterol (8), stigmasterol (9), sitosterol (10), cholesterol (11)], and a long chain alcohol n-eicosan-1-ol (12) were identified in the bark of Lecythis pisonis. The structures were established by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C-NMR, DEPTQ, 1H-1H-COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC), low (CG-MS) and high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), and infrared (IR) spectral data involving comparison with the literature.

Three antibiotic peptides, LP237-F8 (1), F5 (2), and F7 (3), were isolated from the liquid culture of the fungus Tolypocladium geodes. Chemical shift assignments of the 1H and 13C NMR resonances and sequencing of these metabolites were achieved by extensive high-field 2D NMR spectroscopy. The N-terminal of peptides 1 and 2 is protected with an octanoyl (Oc) fatty acid unit, whereas that of peptide 3 is protected with a decanoyl (Dec) unit. The C-terminal of all three peptides is protected with the amino alcohol leucinol (Lol). All three metabolites contain the common amino acids Ala, Phe or Tyr, Pro, and Gln, as well as the unusual amino acid α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib). In addition, peptides 1 and 2 contain the amino acid α-amino-α-ethyl-n-pentanoic acid (α-ethylnorvaline, EtNor), which has not been previously reported as a constituent of a natural product. Metabolites 1, 2, and 3 are new members of the class of natural products known as peptaibols. Key words: Tolypocladium geodes, peptaibols, leucinol, α-amino-α-ethyl-n-pentanoic acid.

From the leaves of Zizyphus glabrata, a new dammarane-type triterpene, pseudojujubogenin -3-O- β -D-glucopyranoside, along with the known ceanothane triterpenes, granulosic acid, ceanothic acid and daucosterol were isolated. The structures of the compounds were fully characterized by detailed NMR investigations including 1H and 13C NMR, HSQC, COSY, HMBC and NOESY experiments. In addition, the dammarane glycoside was tested for its potential to inhibit various bacteria and was found to possess significant bactericidal activity. The 1H, 13C and full 2D-NMR data on granulosic acid has also been presented. This is the first report on the chemical constituents of the leaves of Z. glabrata.

A new complex triterpenoid saponin, polystachyasaponin, was isolated from leaves of Entada polystachya (L.) DC. (Leguminosae) by using chromatographic methods. Its structure was established as 15,16-dihydroxy-3-[[O-β -D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)-2- (acetylamino)-2-deoxy-β -D-glucopyranosyl]oxy]-(3β ,15α,16α)-olean-12-en-28-oic acid O-D-apio- β -D-furanosyl-(1→3)-O-β -D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[β -D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-6-O-[(2E,6R)- 6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-1-oxo-2,7-octadienyl]-β -D-glucopyranosyl ester. Structural elucidation was performed using detailed analyses of 1H and 13C NMR spectra including 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques and chemical conversions. The hemolytic activity of the saponin was evaluated using in vitro assays, and its adjuvant potential on the cellular immune response against ovalbumin antigen was investigated using in vivo assays.

A new glucuronolactone glycoside, phoenixoside B (1), has been isolated from the n-butanol soluble fraction of seeds of Phoenix dactylifera. The structure was characterized as 1-(1-ethyl-β-D-glucosyl)-4,5-diethyl-[α-D-glucofuranourono-6,3-lactone] on the basis of 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Three new depsidones, botryorhodines E–G (1–3), and two new isoindolinones, meyeroguillines A and B (7 and 9), along with five known compounds were isolated from an endophytic fungus Meyerozyma guilliermondii, derived from the mangrove plant Kandelia obovata. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry (HREIMS). Compounds 1–6 exhibited strong α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 2.1 to 13.3 μM. Moreover, kinetic studies of compounds 2 and 6 showed that both of them were noncompetitive inhibitors of α-glucosidase.

The new sesquiterpenoid 8-deoxy-15-(3′-hydroxy-2′-methyl-propanoyl)-lactucin 3′-sulfate (1) was isolated from the methanolic extract of roots of Reichardia gaditana L. The compound was isolated by silica gel column chromatography (CC) and repeated Sephadex LH-20 CC. Structure elucidation was accomplished by high-resolution mass spectrometry and by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy. The chemosystematic significance of the new compound is discussed in the context of sesquiterpenoids from other members of the Lactuceae tribe of the Asteraceae family.

Sponge-derived fungi have recently attracted attention as an important source of interesting bioactive compounds. Aspergillus nomius NC06 was isolated from the marine sponge Neopetrosia chaliniformis. This fungus was cultured on rice medium and yielded four compounds including three new oxisterigmatocystins, namely, J, K, and L (1, 2, and 3), and one known compound, aspergillicin A (4). Structures of the compounds were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The isolated compounds were tested for cytotoxic activity against HT 29 colon cancer cells, where compounds 1, 2, and 4 exhibited IC50 values of 1.21, 2.23, and 5.62 µg/mL, respectively. Under the fluorescence microscope by using a double staining method, HT 29 cells were observed to be viable, apoptotic, and necrotic after treatment with the cytotoxic compounds 1, 2, and 4. The result shows that compounds 1 and 2 were able to induce apoptosis and cell death in HT 29 cells.
