AbstractThis study aimed to compare the biological activities of 35 herbal hydroethanolic extracts and select high potential extract, which showed antioxidative activity and inhibitory activities of α-glucosidase, lipase, and hyaluronidase, and to investigate the isolation, structural elucidation, and biological activities of five phenolic compounds from the selected extracts of Rosa gallica. On the basis of one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance together with the comparison with the literature values, the phenolic compounds were identified as methyl gallate (1), kaempferol-3-O-arabinofuranoside (2), multinoside A acetate (3), kaempferol (4), and quercetin (5), respectively. The results suggest that the extracts from R. gallica show the strongest biological activities in 35 herbal extracts and that 1, 4, and 5 among the five isolated compounds from rose extracts are effective in promoting antioxidative and enzymatic inhibitory activities.

Two new diterpenoids, hypoxyterpoids A (1) and B (2), and four new isocoumarin derivatives, hypoxymarins A–D (4–7), together, with seven known metabolites (3 and 8–13) were obtained from the crude extract of the mangrove-derived fungus Hypoxylon sp. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of 1- and 2-dimensional (1D/2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analysis. The absolute configurations of compounds 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 were determined by comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, and the absolute configurations of C-4′ in 6 and C-9 in 7 were determined by [Rh2(OCOCF3)4]-induced ECD spectra. Compound 1 showed moderate α-glucosidase inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 741.5 ± 2.83 μM. Compounds 6 and 11 exhibited DPPH scavenging activities with IC50 values of 15.36 ± 0.24 and 3.69 ± 0.07 μM, respectively.

 Objective: This study was aimed to isolate and investigate antioxidant activity of gallic acid in pods of jiringa (Archidendron jiringa [Jack] I.C. Nielsen).Methods: Pods of jiringa were extracted by maceration. Phenolic compounds were tested using FeCl3. Identification of pure compound was obtained from spectra data from nuclear magnetic resonance of proton H (1H NMR), NMR of carbon (13C NMR), infra-red, and mass spectrometry. Antioxidant activity was investigated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl method.Results: The IC50 of gallic acid from jiringa’s pods (A. jiringa [Jack] I.C. Nielsen) was 3.65 μg/ml. This value showed that gallic acid from jiringa’s pods (A. jiringa [Jack] I.C. Nielsen) had high antioxidant activity.Conclusions: Gallic acid presents in pods of jiringa (A. jiringa [Jack] I.C. Nielsen) and has high antioxidant activity.

Quantum computers have been proved to be able to mimic quantum systems efficiently in polynomial time. Quantum chemistry problems, such as static molecular energy calculations and dynamical chemical reaction simulations, become very intractable on classical computers with scaling up of the system. Therefore, quantum simulation is a feasible and effective approach to tackle quantum chemistry problems. Proof-of-principle experiments have been implemented on the calculation of the hydrogen molecular energies and one-dimensional chemical isomerization reaction dynamics using nuclear magnetic resonance systems. We conclude that quantum simulation will surpass classical computers for quantum chemistry in the near future.
