From our ongoing study on the latex of Garcinia cowa Roxb. ex Choisy collected in Quy Chau, Nghe An province, seven compounds were isolated including four prenylated xanthones: norcowanin (1), kaennacowanol A (2), garcinone D (3), fuscaxanthone I (4); one tocotrienol: parvifoliol F (5) and two triterpenes: stigmasterol (6), lupeol (7). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by physico-chemical spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with reported data. To the best of our knowledge, garcinone D (3), fuscaxanthone I (4) and parvifoliol F (5) were first reported as components of Garcinia cowa.

Present communication reports the physico-chemical and biological quality of seawater and status of benthos of a highly industrialized shore of the north-western coastline of India. The coastal area considered for the present study, encircled by a variety of industries, was divided into two sampling sites and monitored for two consecutive years. Results of the water quality suggest that the obtained values of the physical and chemical parameters of seawater were comparable with data reported earlier. However, data obtained in the biological parameters of the seawater showed a declining trend. Results of the intertidal macrofaunal diversity studies revealed that the muddy upper littoral zones were represented by few species of coelenterata, porifera, arthropoda and mollusca. In the rocky—muddy middle littoral zones, gastropods, stars fishes, corallites, crabs, polychetes and tubeworms were present, whereas, predominantly rocky lower littoral zones were comparatively rich in macrofaunal diversity with small patches of coral colonies. However, when the results obtained in the present study was compared with that of earlier reported data, it was clear that the macrofaunal diversity indeed declined considerably over the years. This may be due to habitat destruction and habitat alteration in the coastline caused by increased anthropogenic activities in the area. Seasonal variations in the population density and abundance were observed in most of the faunal groups except in sessile corals and sponges. This may be due to local migration of the faunal groups towards deeper regions of the Gulf, as supported by the analysis of similarity, to avoid influx of freshwater during monsoon, and high temperature during summer and post monsoon seasons. The overall assessment of different parameters of this study revealed that though the physico- chemical characteristics of the seawater did not varied much from the earlier reported status, the biological characteristics of the seawater and intertidal zone was affected possibly by a high degree of anthropogenic pressure.

A new phenolic glycoside and three known compounds were isolated from the seeds of Cucurbita moschata. The structures of the new compound was elucidated as phenylcarbinyl 5-O-(4-hydroxy)benzoyl-β-D-apiofuranosyl (1→2)-β-D-glucopyranoside on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidence. Three known compounds were identified as 1-O-benzyl[5-O-benzoyl-β-D-apiofuranosyl(1→2)]-β-D-glucopyranoside 2, cucurbitosides C 3 and A 4, by comparison of the spectral data with reported data. Compound 2 was isolated from this plant for the first time.

The new (22E,24R)-3-acetoxy-19(10→6)-abeo-ergosta-5,7,9,22-tetraen-3β-ol (1) and the known (22E,24R)-19(10→6)-abeo-ergosta-5,7,9,22-tetraen-3β-ol (2), two interesting ergosteroids with rare aromatized ring B, together with seven known derivatives, namely (22E,24R)-ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol (3), (22E,24R)-ergosta-4,7,22-trien-3-one (4), (22E,24R)-ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one (5), (22E,24R)-5α,8α-epidioxyergosta-6,22-dien-3β-ol (6), (22E,24R)-ergosta-7,22-dien-3β,5α,6β-triol (7), (22E,24R)-6-acetoxy-ergosta-7,22-dien-3β,5α,6β-triol (8), and (22E,24R)-3,6-diacetoxy-ergosta-7,22-dien-3β,5α,6β-triol (9), were isolated from Colletotrichum sp., an endophytic fungus isolated from Ilex canariensis from Gomera. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis, comparison with reported data, and chemical interconversion. The isolation of these metabolites not only displays a beautiful array of chemical diversity, but also gives insight into the biosynthetic interconnections. Preliminary studies showed antimicrobial activity of these compounds against the fungus Microbotryum violaceum, the alga Chlorella fusca, and the bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus megaterium.

Abstract The polymerization, vulcanization, and some physical properties of two syndiotactic trans-1,2 polypentadienes (polypiperylenes) are described. Spectroscopic analysis indicated a significant (≈22%) cis-1,4 structure in the polymer prepared with the Et2AlCl/Co (AcAc)3 catalyst system which, although not in agreement with previously published data, is complementary to recently reported data. It is thought that the presence of water in the catalyst solvent or monomer mixture is responsible for the cis-1,4 content. Water appeared not to influence the Et2AlCl/Co(Octoate)2 polymerization in the same way: a greater than 95% trans-1,2 structure was obtained. Physical measurements on the vulcanizates reflected the structural differences. The copolymer vulcanizate, ≈22% cis-1,4 and ≈78% trans-1,2 structure, was more highly crosslinked than the polymer vulcanizate containing no detectable 1,4 structure. The relative levels and temperature location of the rubbery modulus and the Tg's and loss processes, respectively, are related to the 1,4 content: the vulcanizate containing 1,4 structure shows a higher Tg and rubbery modulus than the vulcanizate containing no detectable 1,4 structure. The inference is that the open copolymer presents a less sterically hindered path to the unsaturation for the bulky crosslinking agent and is therefore more susceptible to vulcanization, giving a tougher rubber that may also be reinforced by crystallization of the cis-1,4 units.

Within our screening program for antimicrobial materials, eight compounds (1-8) were isolated from an endophytic fungus Fusarium sp. of Eucommia ulmoides. Compound 1, 2, 5-8 were isolated for the first time from endophytic fungi. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR spectroscopic analysis with the reported data in the literature. All compounds showed potent antibacterial and antifungal activities and can be use as new antimicrobial materials.

Isolation and elucidation of benzophenone glucoside from ethyl acetate extract of Phaleria macrocarpa bark and its inhibitory activity test against leukemia L1210 cell line have been done. The Phaleria macrocarpa bark were macerated using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol, respectively. The ethyl acetate extract was then chromatographed on silica gel column and gradiently eluted by n-hexane - ethyl acetate - ethanol with the composition from 20:1:0 until 0:0:1, gave eight fractions. Separation of fraction 6 using semipreparative HPLC on reverse phase column (Capcell Pak C-18 SG120, 15 mm I.D. x 250 mm) using methanol - water (40:60, 5 mL/min) gave a brown powder, with the melting point of 182.3 ºC. Spectroscopic analysis and comparison of its physico-chemical data, this compound was clarified as 2,4'-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone-6-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (3). Inhibitory activity of its compound against leukemia L1210 cell line showed that this compound exhibited inhibitory activity with IC50 was 5.1mg/mL.     Keywords: Phaleria macrocarpa, 2,4'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-6-O-b-D-glucopyranoside, cytotoxic activity, leukemia L1210

Nine compounds (1-9) were isolated and characterized from the culture broth of the marinebacteria Micromonospora sp. (strain G068), which was isolated from sediment collected at CoTo – Quang Ninh. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis including MS, 1DNMR and 2D NMR, as well as by comparison with reported data in the literature. Allcompounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against a panel of clinicallysignificant microorganisms. Compounds 1, 6, and 9 selectively inhibited Escherichia coli withMIC values of 128, 128 and 64 μg/mL, respectively.
