Column chromatography of the acetone extract of the lichen Stereocaulon azoreum afforded several substances identified by chemical and spectral means; α-amyrin, lupeol, taraxerol, ursolic acid, ergosterol peroxide, brassicasterol, cerevisterol, stictic acid and an acetone-condensation derivative, lobaric acid. Furthermore atranorin, methyl β-orsellinate, atranol and, for the first time from the genus Stereocaulon, cryptostictic acid and the dibenzofuran, strepsilin were isolated.

Column chromatography of the acetone extract of the lichen Cladina macaronesica (Sephadex LH-20, silica gel and silver nitrate-im pregnated silica gel) afforded eight triterpenes identified by chemical and spectral m eans. α-Amyrenone, lupenone, taraxerol, taraxerone and /so-arborinol acetate were isolated for the first time from lichens and (-)-usnic acid and five mononuclear phenolic compounds were also obtained, four for the first time as natural products. The possible transformation of perlatolic acid into these phenolic compounds is briefly outlined.

Acetone extract of aerial parts of Euphorbia marschalliana collected from Iran has been subjected to different chromatography techniques for fractionation and purification. The stereo- structures of the myrsinol esters 15-O-acetyl-3-O-propionyl-5-O-butanoyl-7-O-nicotinoylmyrsinol (1) and 15-O-acetyl-3,5-O-dibutanoyl-7-O-nicotinoylmyrsinol (2) have been probed using ROESY spectroscopy and modified for the stereochemistry at C-6, C-12 and C-13. β-Sitosterol (3), 29-norcycloart-5-ene (4), 5,8-lanostadiene-3β-ol (5), 3β,24(S),25-trihydroxycycloartane (6), 3β,24(R),25-trihydroxycycloartane (7) and 24-methylenecycloartan-3β-ol (8) were identified for the first time in this plant.

Extraction and purification of polyphenolic compounds from Hsian-tsao (Mesona procumbens Hemsl.) were investigated. The polyphenolic compounds were extracted by using acetone, ethanol or methanol at three different concentrations. The polyphenolic concentration and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation were determined. The results showed that, among solvents tested, 75% acetone solvent extracted a maximum amount of polyphenolic compounds from Hsian-tsao. The 75% acetone extract was purified further by AB-8 adsorption column chromatography and eight fractions, A~H, were obtained. Among eight fractions, Fraction E had the highest polyphenolic content and inhibition(76%). Moreover, Fraction E was separated into four polyphenolic compounds (1~4) by HPLC and each compound reached a purity of more than 98%. The structure of the compound was identified by LC-MS and NMR, and the compound-4 was determined to be astragalin (a flavonol glycoside) which was obtained from HT for the first time.

Lignans and phenylethanoid glycosides purified fromForsythia suspensawere reported to display various bioactivities in the previous literature, including the antimicrobial activity. Therefore, the present research is aimed to purify and identify the chemical constituents of the methanol extracts of fruits ofF. suspensa. The methanol extracts of fruits ofF. suspensawere fractionated and further purified with the assistance of column chromatography to afford totally thirty-four compounds. Among these isolates, 3β-acetoxy-20α-hydroxyursan-28-oic acid (1) was reported from the natural sources for the first time. Some of the purified principles were subjected to the antimicrobial activity examinations againstEscherichia colito explore new natural lead compounds.

Tinospora crispa Miers (Menispermaceae) is a climbing vine with stems rich in warts. The plant is called Akar Seruntum or Patawali in Malaysia and is widely used for treating skin complaints, malaria, bacterial abscess, high blood pressure and diabetes. In the present study, the stems of T. crispa were collected from the locality and succesively extracted with petroleum ether, followed by chloroform and ethanol. The insecticidal active extract (ethanol extract) was  subjected to column chromatography of silica gel eluted with a gradient mobile phase containing hexane, chloroform and ethanol. Among the chemical constituents isolated are n-tetracosyl trans-ferulate and n-octacosyl alcohol, along with three known aporphine alkaloids; N-formylnornuciferine, N-acetylnornuciferine and lysicamine. All compounds were identified by comparing their spectroscopic data (UV, IR, 1H NMR, MS) with data from corresponding values in the literature. Isolation of n-tetracosyl trans-ferulate and n-octacosyl alcohol is reported the first time for T. crispa.

The present work reports the isolation of eight compounds fromPestalotiopsis sp. EJC07 isolated as endophytic fromBauhinia guianensis, a tipical plant of the Amazon. The compounds (4S)-4,8-dihydroxy-1-tetralone (1), uracil (2), uridin (3), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (4), ergosterol (5), ergosterol peroxide (6), cerevisterol (7) and ducitol (8) were isolated by chromatographic procedures and identified by spectral methods of 1D and 2D NMR and MS. The compound 1 is being reported for the first time in the genusPestalotiopsis.

Abstract β-sitosterol and two triterpenoids: ursolic acid acetate and platanic acid have been isolated from ethanolic extract of Vitex trifola leaves. β-sitosterol was previously isolated from the leaves, stem and seeds of Vitex trifolia. Ursolic acid acetate has been isolated for the first time in this plant species. Platanic acid has been reported for the first time in Vitex trifolia and even in the family of this plant: Verbenaceae. These compounds were characterized using spectroscopic methods including 1D-1HNMR, 13CNMR, ESIMS and 2D-NMR (HSQC, HMBC, COSY) experiments and confirmed by comparison of their NMR data with those from the literature. A preliminary molluscicidal test for ethanol, chloroform and n-hexane extracts of leaves of Vitex trifolia against Biomphalaria alexandrina adult snails showed that ethanol extract of leaves with LC50 value 26.42 mg/l (27.92 mg/l - 24.99 mg/l) was more effective than n-hexane extract with LC50 value 35.48 mg/l (43.81 mg/l - 28.72mg/l) and chloroform extract with LC50 value 46.77 mg/l (53.59 mg/l - 43.81 mg/l) after 24 h exposure.

A minor novel 1,7-naphthyridine alkaloid with an unprecedented skeleton, named anisopusine (1), was isolated from the CH2Cl2 soluble materials of an acetone extract of the bark of Anisopus mannii (Asclepiadaceae) together with four known compounds 5α-hydroxy-lup-20(29)-en-3β-yl eicosanoate (2), [6]-gingerdione (3), [6]-dehydrogingerdione (4), and ferulic acid (5). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data, including 1D and 2D NMR, HR-EI-MS. Compounds (2–5) were characterized for the first time from this genus.
