A new taxane with an amino side chain on C-5 and a new 11(15→1)abeotaxane having a tetrahydrofuran ring along carbon atoms C-2, C-3, C-4, C-20 identified for the first time from the needles of the Canadian yew, Taxus canadensis. Their structures were characterized as 2α,7β ,9α,10β ,13-pentaacetoxy-11β -hydroxy-5α-(2´ -hydroxy,3'-N,N-dimethylamino-3´- phenyl)-propionyloxytaxa-4(20),12-diene (1) and 13α,20β -diacetoxy-5α,7β ,9α,10β -tetrahydroxy- 2α,20-epoxy-11(15→1)abeotaxa-11,15-diene (2) on the basis of 1D, 2D NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution FABMS analysis. Taxane 1 contains a rare C-12, C-13 double bond and a basic side chain, while taxane 2 bears a rare isopropenyl group at C-1.

Two isomers, (Z)- and (E)-palmityl 4-hydroxycinnamate [hexadecyl(2Z)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate and hexadecyl(2E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoate] were isolated for the first time from ligulate flowers of Taraxacum linearisquameum Soest (sect. Taraxacum). The highest amount of these compounds was detected in pollen grains; 0.26 mg/100 mg DW of the (E)-isomer and 0.096 mg/100 mg DW of the (Z)-isomer. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by a combination of HPLC-ESI-Qtof-MS and ID and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Their presence was confirmed in other species of Taraxacum, but they were not found in the male-sterile triploid agamospermous taxon T. parnassicum.

A phenylpropanoid [2-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane-1,3-diol] (1) together with four known biflavonoids namely 7, 4′, 7′″, 4′″-tetra- O-methyl amentoflavone (2); 7, 4′, 7″-tri- O-methyl amentoflavone (3); ginkgetin (4); sequoiaflavone (5) were isolated from the acetone soluble extract of needles of Cephalotaxus harringtonia var. harringtonia. Their structures were elucidated mainly on the basis of interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. The detailed spectral data of phenylpropanoid have been described for the first time. Ginkgetin (4) exhibited significant hepatoprotective activity in rat at 6 mg/kg oral dose level.

Three new minor triterpene glycosides, cucumariosides I1 (1), I3 (2) and I4 (3) have been isolated from the Far Eastern sea cucumber Eupentacta fraudatrix. Structures of the glycosides were elucidated by 2D NMR spectroscopy and MS. Glycosides 1–3 belong to the group of cucumariosides I, having branched pentasaccharide carbohydrate moieties with two sulfate groups and possessing 3- O-methyl-D-xylose as a terminal monosaccharide unit that is a characteristic feature of all the glycosides isolated from E. fraudatrix. Glycosides 1 and 2 differ from each other by the side chain structures in the holostane aglycone moieties, while cucumarioside I4 (3) has a 23,24,25,26,27-pentanorlanostane aglycone with an 18(16)-lactone. Cytotoxic activities of glycosides 1–3 against mouse spleen lymphocytes and ascite form of mouse Ehrlich carcinoma cells, along with hemolytic activity against mouse erythrocytes and antifungal activity were studied. Glycoside 1, having an aglycone side chain with a 24(25)-double bond, possesses moderate activity in all the tests, while glycoside 2, having 23(24)-double bond and 25-hydroxy group in the side chain, and glycoside 3 with an aglycone with an 18(16)-lactone and shortened side chain have either low activity or are non-active.

The structures of chelirubine and chelilutine free bases have been examined by 2D NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Chelirubine chloride (1a) upon treatment with Na2CO3 yielded free base which possessed the constitution of bis(5,6-dihydrochelirubin-6-yl) ether (2a). The free base of chelilutine (1b) was determined to be bis(5,6-dihydrochelilutin-6-yl) ether (2b). The aqueous NH3 treatment of chelilutine (1b) produced bis(5,6-dihydrochelilutin-6-yl)amine (3b). 6-Hydroxy-5,6-dihydrochelirubine (4a) and 6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrochelilutine (4b) were detected only in CDCl3 solution by NMR spectroscopy. In CDCl3, the compound 2b underwent hydrolysis to 4b that was immediately followed by the reverse condensation to a diastereomer of 2b. Pseudokinetics of this reaction was followed by NMR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations were carried out to support the suggested type of molecular symmetry alteration. The known alkaloid dihydrochelirubine (5) was isolated for the first time from Sanguinaria canadensis.

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.

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.

Bioassay-guided isolation studies of the extract of Clerodendrum kaichianum Hsu., a new rearranged abietane diterpene and five known diterpene compounds were isolated by various chromatography methods. Their structures were identified by means of spectroscopic methods, including 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, as (16 R)-12,16-epoxy-11,14,17-trihydroxy-17(15→16)- abeo-8,11,13-abietatrien-7-one (1), villosin A (2), salvinolone (3), 14-deoxyloleon U (4), 5,6-dehydrosugiol (5), and coleon U (6). Compounds 1, 2, 3, and 5 are reported for the first time for this genus. Compounds 1, 2, and 6 demonstrated potent cytotoxic activities against the HL-60 tumor cell line.

From the aerial parts of Ajuga salicifolia (L.) Schreber, a new ionone glycoside (3β-hydroxy- 7,8-dihydro-4-oxo-β-ionol-9-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside) was isolated, along with the known compounds, corchoionoside C, 8-O-acetylmioporoside, ajugol, harpagide, 8-O-acetylharpagide, lavandulifolioside and leonosides A and B. This is the first report of the occurrence of ionone glycosides and 8-O-acetylmioporoside in Ajuga species. Ajugol, lavandulifolioside, leonoside A and B were isolated for the first time from Ajuga salicifolia. The structures were elucidated by means of 1D-, 2D-NMR spectroscopy, and HR-MALDI mass spectrometry.
