Trypanocidal activity was found in the volatile oil of dried Dracocephalum kotschyi. GCMS analysis determined that the major constituents of the oil were geranial (35.8%), C10H14O (26.6%), limonene (15.8%) and 1,1-dimethoxy decane (14.5%). In order to isolate the unknown biologically active monoterpene, fractionation of the volatile oil was carried out by silica gel column chromatography. The structure of the oxygenated compound was confirmed to be limonene-10-al (C10H14O) by analysis of physical and spectroscopic data (1H NMR, 13C NMR, HMBC and HMQC).

Abstract Two new iridoids were isolated and identified to three known ones, namely, loganic acid (2), sweroside (3), and 7-O-tigloylsecologanol (4), from the stems of Viburnum erosum. Dried stems of V. erosum were extracted with 80% methanol (MeOH), and the concentrated extract was partitioned successively with ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butyl alcohol (n-BuOH), and H2O. Five compounds were isolated after repeated silica gel (SiO2), octadecyl SiO2 (ODS), and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography of the EtOAc fraction. The chemical structures of the compounds were determined based on spectroscopic data from 1H- and 13C-NMR, DEPT, and 2D-NMR (gCOSY, gHSQC, gHMBC) data. The new iridoids were identified as 3,7-dihydroxy-8-methyl-cyclopenta[c]pyran-4-carboxylic acid (1) and rel-(1S,5R,9S)-9-ethenyl-1-(β-D-glucopyrinosyloxy)-5,9-dihydro-5-{2-[(2-methylbut-2-enoyl)oxy]ethyl}-1H-pyran-4-carboxylic acid (5) and named viburnin and epi-7-O-tigloylsecologanolic acid, respectively. This is the first report of the isolation of these five iridoids from V. erosum.

<p>A series of novel thiazolidinedione analogues (TZD) were designed and synthesized potent inhibitors of HBV capsid assembly. The synthesis of thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (4a–4o), starting from the condensation of 5-(ethoxymethylene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (1) with various secondary amines (3) derived from biologically active compounds. The newly synthesized TZD analogues 4a-4o were characterized by <sup>1</sup>H NMR, <sup>13</sup>C NMR, and MS and evaluated for their anti-HBV activity. Most of the compounds inhibited the expression of viral antigens at low concentration. Six compounds, 4g, 4h, 4l, 4m, 4n, and 4o, demonstrated potent inhibition of HBV DNA replication at submicromolar range. Of these five initial hits, compound 4o was the most active when compared with lamivudine.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

From leaves and bulbs of Ornithogalum nutans L. (2 n = 28), seventeen cardenolides were isolated by column chromatography, DCCC and TLC. The structure elucidation was performed by means of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HH-Cosy, HC-Cosy and FAB-MS studies and identification of the sugar moieties by GLC after acid hydrolysis of the cardenolides. Sugar compounds were identified as digitoxose, 3-acetyl-digitoxose, 2-deoxy-allose, 6-deoxy-allose, rhamnose, xylose and apiose. Glycosides of 7β,15β, 16 α-trihydroxy-uzarigenin, 8β,16 α-dihy-droxy, 15-oxo-uzarigenin, 3 β, 11β-dihydroxy, 12-oxo, 18-nor-5 α-card-13-enolid, 11 α-hydroxygitoxigenin, 12-oxo,8, 14β-epoxy-uzarigenin, 8β-hydroxy, 15-oxo-uzarigenin and 12β-hydroxy-oleandrigenin are described for the first time, the presence of oleandrigenin-glycosides in the genus Ornithogalum was not known until now. Ornithogalum nutans L. shows a different cardenolide pattern from the second European species of the section Myogalum (LINK) PETERM. - Ornithogalum boucheanum (KUNTH) ASCHERS.

The title compound, C14H10O5, was isolated from Senecio cannabifolius Less var. integrifolius aqueous extract. The structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, including MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, and the relative configuration was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The benzofuran ring is almost coplanar with the furan ring [dihedral angle = 10.47 (15)°]. A chain is formed through supramolecular R 2 2(10) synthons and three-centre hydrogen bonds.

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.

Reaction of the title compound I with nitric acid in acetic afforded a mixture of products which on column chromatography afforded 5-cyano-4,4,6-trimethyl-2-nitromethylene-3-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (II), (Z)-5-(1-acetoxy-2-nitrovinyl)-3,5-dicyano-4,4-dimethyl-2-pyrazoline (III) and 3-acetoxy-3-cyano-4,4,6-trimethyl-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridazine (IV). Reaction of I with nitrating mixture in chloroform gave only the compound II. The probable mechanism of formation of compounds II, III and IV, together with their 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and mass spectra, is discussed.

X-ray crystal structures and properties of the two Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes [bpeH2][PdCl4] and [Pt(bpe)Cl2], [bpe = 1,2-bis(pyridin-2-yl)ethane] are described and correlated with the IR and 1H NMR/13C NMR spectroscopic data. In the case of the Pt(II) complex, the 1,2-bis(pyridin-2-yl)ethane is bound to the metal by the heterocycle nitrogen atoms but no direct bond is found in the case of the Pd(II) complex. The ligand exhibits low energy geometries in both compounds: the cis-conformation in the Pt(II) complex, and the transconformation in the Pd(II) complex

AbstractThe reactivity of 4-amino-5-hydrazineyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (1) towards several carbonyl compounds was investigated. We have found that on treatment of 1 with isatoic anhydride (2), 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (4), diphenic anhydride (6), pyromellitic dianhydride (8), and tetrabromophthalic anhydride (10), the reaction proceeds to give triazolotetrazine- and triazolophthalazine derivatives in good yields using simple experimental procedures. The structure of the synthesized compounds was confirmed using different spectroscopic data (1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis). The mechanism of the obtained products was also discussed.

Abstract Background Cheilanthes tenuifolia, a member of the Pteridaceae family, is an evergreen and small fern could be abundant of bioactive compounds. The present study was designed to investigate its many therapeutic properties and isolation of bioactive compounds from extracts of Cheilanthes tenuifolia. Methods The dried coarse plant powder was extracted with methanol and dried with rotary evaporator. The extract was further partitioned according to the increasing polarity: N-hexane < chloroform < ethyl-acetate < methanol by modified Kupchan method. Then each extract fractions were investigated for their pharmacologic properties. Compounds were isolated from n-hexane fraction through column chromatography, followed by TLC and structure was determined by analysis of sample using 1H-NMR and matched with published phytochemistry report. Results Methanol fraction of Cheilanthes tenuifolia showed highest amount of total phenol content (11.32 ± 0.28 mg/gm GAE) followed by chloroform fraction (9.71 ± 0.31 mg/gm GAE) > N-hexane fraction (6.69 ± 0.67 mg/gm GAE) > ethyl acetate fraction (5.36 ± 0.54 mg/gm GAE). The methanol fraction of Cheilanthes tenuifolia possessed highest amount (7.11 ± 0.52 mg/gm QE) of total flavonoid content. Our present study indicates that methanol extract was most potent (IC50 = 9.926 μg/ml) inhibitor of DPPH free radicals. In brine shrimp lethality bio assay, all the extracts showed dose dependent increment of mortality and chloroform extract was found most cytotoxic (LC50 = 34.493 μg/ml) compared to other plant extracts. The chloroform fraction of Cheilanthes tenuifolia was most potent in terms of thrombolytic activity. A compound was isolated (CT-2) using column chromatography followed by TCL and PTLC (35% pet ether in CHCl3) and analyzed by 1H-NMR. The structure of stigmasterol was confirmed by comparing the 1H-NMR data with previously published phytochemistry report. Conclusion Cheilanthes tenuifolia could be a potential candidate for bioactive compounds and further studies on isolation and characterization of its bioactive compounds are highly required.
