Paramignya trimera (Oliv.) Guill. (Rutaceae), mostly distributed in the southern regions of Vietnam, has been used as a medicinal plant for treatment of liver diseases and cancer. From the methanol extract of the roots and stems of P. trimera, 3 new compounds (1-3) were isolated, including ninhvanin B (1), paramitrimerol (2), and parabacunoic acid (3), and a known alkaloid, citrusinine-I (4). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis, as well as by comparison with literature data.

Abstract In the search of novel potent bioactive compounds, 18 novel camphoric acid-based acylhydrazone compounds 4a–4r were designed and synthesized by the condensation reaction of N-amino camphorimide (3) with substituted benzaldehyde based on camphoric acid as the starting material. The target compounds were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay showed that the following camphoric acid-based compounds exhibited excellent antifungal activity with an inhibition ratio of 95% against Physalospora piricola at the concentration of 50 μg ml-1: o-bromophenyl acylhydrazone (4f), p-bromophenyl acylhydrazone (4g), p-methoxyphenyl acylhydrazone (4m), and p-hydroxyphenyl acylhydrazone (4p).

AbstractThis work concerns the isolation and structure elucidation of compounds obtained from the extract of leaves and stem bark of Combretum fragrans F. Hoffm. Both extracts and some isolated compounds were tested for antiproliferative activity on glioblastoma (U87MG and C6 cells) and prostate (PC-3 cells) cancer cell lines using XTT (2,3-bis[2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxyanilide inner salt) assay. The dichloromethane/methanol (1:1) extract of the leaves led to the isolation of two new compounds such as fragransinate (1) and combretin C (2), alongside five known compounds such as combretin A (3), belamcanidin (4), cirsilineol (5), velutin (6), and a mixture of β-sitosterol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (10a) and stigmasterol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (10b), whereas the methanol extract of the stem bark led to the isolation of three known compounds betulinic acid (7), bellericagenin B (8), and a mixture of β-sitosterol (9a) and stigmasterol (9b). The structure of compounds was elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry data. The methanol extract of the stem bark showed a powerful antiproliferative activity on all tested cells, as well as the extract of leaves which also showed important cytotoxicity effect. Compound (3) showed good antiproliferative activity particularly on U87MG and PC-3 cells, whereas compound (5) exhibits moderated activity. Compounds (2) and (8) were not active on all tested cells.

One new terphenyl glycoside (1), gliocladinin D, together with 4 known compounds (2-5) were isolated from the sponge-derived fungus Trichoderma reesei (HN-2016-018). The structure of the new compound was elucidated by the comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Compound 3 exhibited moderate Topo I inhibitory activity.
