AbstractA new iridoid glycoside, namely, cymdahoside A (1), together with two known ones, 2 and 3, were isolated from the EtOAc extract of Cymbaria dahurica. The structure elucidation of 1 was carried out by one-dimensional (1D) NMR (1H and 13C NMR) and 2D NMR (correlation spectroscopy, heteronuclear single-quantum coherence, heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy) spectral analyses.

AbstractA new pseudoguaiane-type sesquiterpene named litopharbol (1) was isolated from the methanolic extract of the Red Sea soft coralLitophyton arboreum, along with known sesquiterpenoids alismol (2), alismorientol B (3), teuhetenone A (4), and calamusin I (5); steroid, 24-methyl-cholesta-5,24(28)-diene-3β-ol (6), alkyl glyceryl ether, chimyl alcohol (7); sphingolipid, erythro-N-dodecanoyl-docosasphinga-(4E,8E)-dienine (8); and nitrogenous bases, thymine (9) and thymidine (10). The structures were determined on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic (1D and 2D NMR data including heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectroscopy, heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation spectroscopy, and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy) and mass spectrometric analyses. Compounds1–5were explored for antimicrobial activity and cancer cell line sensitivity tests. Compound1exhibited antibacterial activity againstBacillus cereuswith a minimum inhibition concentration of 1.8 μg/mL, whereas compound3showed significant potent cytotoxic effect against MCF-7 (breast cancer cells) with IC504.32 μM.

Abstract9-Hydroxy-10,11-dehydro-sarcotrocheliol (1), a new pyrane-based cembranoid diterpene, has been isolated along with three other known compounds, namely, sarcotrocheliol acetate (2), (+)-sarcophytol A (3), and (−)-sarcophytonin A (4), from the organic extract of the soft coral Sarcophyton trocheliophorum. The chemical structures of compounds 1–4 were determined on the basis of their 1D and 2D NMR [1H, 13C, 1H–1H correlation spectroscopy, heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence, heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation, and nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE)] and mass spectra [electron ionization (EI), electrospray ionization, and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)], and by comparison with related structures. The compounds 1–4 showed neither antimicrobial activity against 11 diverse tested microorganisms, nor cytotoxicity against brine shrimp, whereas the soft coral extract showed low cytotoxicity with a mortality rate of 1.7%.

High-resolution NMR spectroscopy is the most versatile, reliable, and generally acceptable technique for the determination of the microstructure of polymers. 2D NMR techniques, along with 1D NMR, have more potential to study absolute configurational assignments and sequence distribution of copolymers. Physical and chemical properties of polymers are influenced fundamentally by their microstructure. We discuss the detailed microstructure analysis of a large number of homopolymers, copolymers, and terpolymers. 2D NMR study of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA), and poly(methacrylonitrile) (PMAN) is discussed in this article. In addition to homopolymers, 2D heteronuclear single-quantum coherence (HSQC), total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY), and heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) study of different copolymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methyl acrylate), poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate), and poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylonitrile) have also been reported here. This in turn helps in microstructural analysis of terpolymers such as poly(methacrylonitrile-co-styrene-co-methyl methacrylate), poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl methacrylate-co-methyl acrylate), and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate-co-carbon monoxide).

Benderamide A (1), a (S)-2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-7-octynoic acid (S-Dhoya)-containing cyclic depsipeptide that belongs to the kulolide superfamily, was isolated from a Singapore collection of cf. Lyngbya sp. marine cyanobacterium using a bioassay-guided approach. While the planar structure of 1 was elucidated using a combination of 1D and 2D NMR experiments and MS analysis, the absolute configuration was subsequently achieved using the results obtained from Marfey’s analysis, comparative analysis of nuclear overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) with the known compound 3, and one dimensional-nuclear overhauser effect (1D-NOE). Although 1 did not display antiproliferative activity against MCF7 breast cancer cells, the presence of an Ala instead of Gly suggests a possible mechanistic pathway to explain the consequential decrease in cytotoxicity compared to the closely related 2. In addition, results obtained from an LC–MS/MS-based molecular networking algorithm revealed two other closely related compounds encouraging further identification and isolation from the same marine cyanobacterium extract.

Abstract The structure of the fluorescent derivative formed in the method of Okayama et al. (Clin Chem 1990; 36:1494-7) for determining delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) concentrations was reinvestigated after esterification. The molecular ion peak at m/z 303.1473 corresponded to the molecular formula of C17H21NO4 (calcd 303.1470). The infrared spectrum showed the presence of carbonyl and carboxyl groups. This compound contained two acetyl groups, two methyl groups, and one methoxycarbonylethyl group, as revealed by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance and 13C-1H shift-correlated spectroscopy. Experiments with correlation spectroscopy via long-range coupling indicated that the main skeleton is 3H-pyrrolizine. The relative arrangement of functional groups was determined by means of nuclear Overhauser effect difference experiments. We were led to the conclusion that the methyl ester of the derivative is 2,6-diacetyl-1,5-dimethyl-7-(2-methoxycarbonylethyl)-3H-pyrrolizine. This structure was unequivocally confirmed by x-ray analysis; therefore, the structure of the derivative itself is 2,6-diacetyl-1,5-dimethyl-7-(2-carboxyethyl)-3H-pyrrolizine.

AbstractBio-guided fractionation of the guggul gum resin of Commiphora mukul HOOK using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay for the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 led to the isolation of a new C17 norditerpene named myrrhanone C (1) along with two known polypodane-type triterpenes, namely, myrrhanone B (2) and myrrhanol B (3). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by means of 1D (1H and 13C) and 2D (correlation spectroscopy, heteronuclear single-quantum coherence, heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation, and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy) NMR spectroscopy as well as mass (electrospray ionization-mass spectroscopy) spectral analyses. Interestingly myrrhanone C (1) was able to induce a substantial decline in cell proliferation. It reduced the viability of cancer cells by almost 81% and 87% at concentrations of 50 and 100 μg mL−1, respectively. Myrrhanone B (2) and myrrhanol B (3) showed a concentration-dependent growth inhibitory effect on cancer cells, with the latter being slightly more cytotoxic than the former at both the concentrations tested. Furthermore, myrrhanone C (1) and myrrhanone B (2) showed good α-glucosidase and urease inhibition.

A new tricyclic clerodane-type diterpene, nepetolide (1), has been isolated from Nepeta suavis along with three known compounds namely β -sitosterol, stigmasterol, and ursolic acid. The structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was based primarily on two-dimensional (2D)-NMR techniques including correlation spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC), and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) experiments.
