Abstract Three hitherto unknown phenolic constituents epilyoni-resinol, its glucoside and rhamnocitrin-3-O-rutinoside have been isolated from G. robusta wood and leaves besides kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside whereas 2,6-dimethoxybenzo-quinone, lyoniresinol and its rhamnoside are obtained from H. saligna wood. Their structures were assigned on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence.

Rutin, 2,5-dihydroxycinnamic acid (5), methyl 4-hydroxycinnamate (6), and a mixture of novel macrocyclic phenols have been isolated from the leaves of Grevillea robusta A. Cunn. The major macrocyclic phenol, robustol, has been shown to have the structure (8) by the application of physical methods and by degradation of robustol trimethyl ether (9) to give 3-[14?-(3?,5?-dimethoxyphenyl)tetradec-1?-yl]-5-methoxy-phenol (34). Three of the minor macrocyclic phenols have been assigned tentative structures (11), (12), and (13).

A new methylated flavonol, 5,7,2 ′,4 ′-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone (1), had been isolated from the methanol extract of the wood of Morus australis, along with nine known compounds, kuwanon C (2), morusin (3), morachalcone A (4), oxyresveratrol (5), 4 ′-(2-methyl-2-buten- 4-yl)oxyresveratrol (6), moracins M (7) and C (8), alboctalol (9), and macrourin B (10). The structures of these compounds were determined based on spectral evidence, including UV, IR, NMR, and mass spectra. Cytotoxic properties of compounds 1 →10 were evaluated against murine leukemia P-388 cells. The prenylated stilbene 6 and 2-arylbenzofuran 8, and morusin (3) were found to have strong cytotoxic effects with IC50 values of 6.9, 8.7, and 10.1 μM, respectively.

Background: Eucalyptus belongs to the Myrtaceae family. It is the most planted hardwood forest crop worldwide, representing a global renewable resource of fiber, pharmaceuticals and energy. Objective: To compare the five species, E. maidenii, E. robusta, E. citriodora, E. tereticornis and E. camaldulensis, seeking for the richest source of nutrients and pharmaceuticals. Methodology: Eucalyptus samples were subjected to some chemical determinations for both primary and secondary metabolites to verify their nutritional and pharmaceutical importance related to different extracts. GC-MS analysis was applied to detect the presence of some individual phenolic constituents in their leaves. Results: E. robusta recorded the maximum contents of carbohydrates (40.07%) and protein (31.91%). While E. camaldulensis contained the highest contents of total phenolic compounds (46.56 mg/g), tannins (40.01 mg/g) and antioxidant activities assayed by the phosphomolybednum method (57.60 mg/g), followed by E. citridora. However, E. tereticornis exhibited the highest reducing power ability (151.23 mg/g). The GC-MS highlighted 20 phenolic constituents and antioxidants which varied in their abundance in Eucalyptus leaves, 8 individual phenolics (hydroquinone, hesperitin, pyrogallol, resorcinol, protocatechuic acid, naringenin, chlorogenic acid and catechin) were maximally recorded with E. camaldulensis and secondly, with E. citridora in case of at least 5 components. Nevertheless, gallic and quinic acids were more abundant in the leaves of E. tereticornis, which may explain its high corresponding reducing powers. Conclusion: Acetone-water combination has enhanced phenolics extraction from Eucalyptus tissues. This is the first report aiming to compare between the aforementioned Eucalyptus species highlighting either their nutritional or medicinal importance.

3-Acyloxy-5-(2-phenylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-ones II were prepared by O-acylation of 5-(2-phenylethenyl)-1,3-cycloxanedione (I). Treatment of II with AlCl3 resulted in rearrangement of the acyl group to the double bond of the phenylethenyl grouping followed by cyclization to 8-acyl-7-phenylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2,6-diones III. Their structure was evidenced by analysis of the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data.
