Trimacoside A (1), a new phenylpropanoid glycoside, together with nine known compounds (2−10) was isolated from Tricyrtis maculata. All compounds, except for 8, were firstly isolated from this plant. The structure elucidation of the new compound was carried out by the analysis of spectroscopic data, including 1D, 2D NMR, and HRESIMS. Compounds 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 showed significant antioxidant activities by DPPH and ABTS assays.

The red coloured ethyl acetate extract of the Streptomyces sp. isolate GW37/3236 delivered the two new antibiotics 13-O-acetyl-bisanhydro-13-dihydrodaunomycinone (3c) and 4,13-O-diacetylbisanhydro- 4-O-demethyl-13-dihydrodaunomycinone (3d) and additionally several known compounds. The quinones 3c and 3d are the first naturally occurring quinone acetates. Their structures were derived by comparison of the NMR data with those of bisanhydro-13-dihydrodaunomycinone (3b) and by interpretation of the 2D NMR data accompanied by the molecular weight and formula. 2-Acetamido-3-hydroxybenzamide (5) was also isolated from the extract and was identified by comparison of the NMR data with those of 2-acetamidobenzamide and by 2D NMR correlations. 6,9,11- Trihydroxy-4-methoxy-5,12-naphthacenedione (4) is isolated for the first time as a natural product.

This study was aimed to prepare polyeugenol with high molecular weight and to evaluate its antibacterial and antioxidant activities. First, polyeugenol was synthesized from eugenol in the presence of H2SO4-CH3COOH (4:1) as catalyst. The synthesized polyeugenol was weighed by using viscometer, revealing its high molecular weight of (7.76–21.9) × 105 g/mol. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of the polyeugenol was conducted against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. It was conducted by applying well diffusion method at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% concentrations to observe inhibition zones, in which the tests showed that the antibacterial activity of the polyeugenol against S. aureus were 17.42, 17.76, 18.79, 21.42 and 22.55 mm, while those against E. coli were 15.87, 17.23, 17.56, 18.24 and 19.21 mm, respectively. In short, these results indicated a strong antibacterial activity. Then, tests on antioxidant activity against free radical DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-pycrylhydrazyl) gave the IC50 value of 80.47 µg/mL, indicating a strong antioxidant activity. Therefore, the polymer synthesized in this work has a high potential to be applied in various biomedical applications.

A new butenolide derivative (1), along with three known compounds (2-4) were isolated from the MeOH extract of brown alga Sargassum micracanthum. The structures of 1 to 4 were determined by the analyses of 1D and 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic data. The known compounds (2-4) were identified as (5 E,10 Z)-6,10,14-trimethylpentadeca-5,10-dien-2,12-dione (2), (5 E,9 E)-6,10,14-trimethylpentadeca-5,9-dien-2,12-dione (3), and (-)-loliolide (4) by comparing with their published spectroscopic data. The antioxidant activities of compounds 1 to 4 were evaluated based on using 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities. Compounds 1 to 4 were inactive at the concentration of 200 μM.

The O-chain polysaccharide produced by Proteusmirabilis strain 7570 was shown by chemical analysis and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy to be a high molecular weight acidic linear polymer of tetrasaccharide repeating units, composed of D-galacturonic acid, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2:1:1). In addition, native O-chain was randomly substituted by O-acetyl groups. Keywords: Proteus, lipopolysaccharide, O-chain, structure, NMR.

Microtubules are involved in a number of forms of intracellular motility, including mitosis and bidirectional organelle transport. Purified microtubules from brain and other sources contain tubulin and a diversity of microtubule associated proteins (MAPs). Some of the high molecular weight MAPs - MAP 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B - are long, fibrous molecules that serve as structural components of the cytamatrix. Three MAPs have recently been identified that show microtubule activated ATPase activity and produce force in association with microtubules. These proteins - kinesin, cytoplasmic dynein, and dynamin - are referred to as cytoplasmic motors. The latter two will be the subject of this talk.Cytoplasmic dynein was first identified as one of the high molecular weight brain MAPs, MAP 1C. It was determined to be structurally equivalent to ciliary and flagellar dynein, and to produce force toward the minus ends of microtubules, opposite to kinesin.
