Morphological characters and molecular analyses of Cichorium calvum and C. pumilum do not allow clear discrimination between these closely related wild species. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize the secondary metabolites of C. calvum and to select chemical markers which are unique to this species. From roots of C. calvum, ten sesquiterpene lactones were isolated, including seven lactucin-type guaianolides reported earlier from C. pumilum. Aerial parts also afforded secondary metabolites common to both species, along with the megastigmane glucosides staphylionoside D, saussureoside B and komaroveside A. This is the first report of the occurrence of these norisoprenoids in Cichorium species and the second record of their isolation from plants. Therefore, chemical discrimination of C. calvum is possible on the basis of its norisoprenoid composition.

Seven flavonoids were isolated from the butanol fraction of the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Cynanchum acutum L. (Asclepiadaceae). All of which have been isolated for the first time from the genus Cynanchum. Their structures were established as quercetin 3-O-β-galacturonopyranoside (1), quercetin 7-O-β-glucopyranoside (2), tamarixtin 3-O-β-galacturonopyranoside (3), kaempferol 3-O-β-galacturonopyranoside (4), 8-hydroxyquercetin 3-O-β-galactopyranoside (5), tamarixtin 3-O-α-rhamnopyranoside (6), and tamarixtin 7-O-α-arabinopyranoside (7) on the basis of their chromatographic properties, chemical and spectroscopic data. The major isolated flavonoids 1, 2 and 3 were found to exhibit significant antioxidant and antidiabetic activities (by measuring blood glucose and insulin levels). This is the first report about the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of compounds 1 - 3.

<p><strong>Objective: </strong>The current study was to deal the isolation and identification of secondary metabolites from <em>Polygonum equisetiforme</em> and evaluation of antioxidant activity of its extract.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The methanol-water extract (7:3) of the air-dried aerial parts of <em>Polygonum equisetiforme</em> was fractionated and separated to obtain the isolated compounds by different chromatographic techniques. Structures of these compounds were elucidated by UV and 1D⁄2D H⁄ C NMR spectroscopy and compared with the literature data. The crude extract was evaluated for <em>in vitro</em> antioxidant activity using the 2,2 diphenyl dipicryl hydrazine (DPPH) method.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Ten secondary metabolites were isolated from <em>Polygonum equisetiforme</em> in this study. Of which three new flavonoids named as 3,5,7,2’,5’ pentahydroxyflavone 3-<em>O</em>-b-D-glucopyranoside (1), 3,5,7,2’,5’ pentahydroxyflavone 3-<em>O</em>-b-D-glucopyranoside 8 C-sulphated (2) and quercetin 3-<em>O-β</em>-D-glucucorinde 6''-methyl ester 8-sulphated (3) as well as quercetin 3-<em>O-β</em>-D-glucucorinde methyl ester (4), quercetin 3-<em>O-</em>β-D-glucopyranoside (5), quercetin 7-<em>O-β-</em>D-glucopyranoside (6),<em> </em>quercetin(7)<sub>, </sub>myricetin (8), <em>P</em><sub>-</sub>methoxy gallic acid methyl ester (9) and gallic acid (10). The antioxidant potential of <em>P. equisetiforme</em> extract was evaluated by investigating it's total phenolic and flavonoid content and DPPH radical scavenging activity whereby the extract showed significant antioxidant activity (IC<sub>50 </sub>= 37.45 μg/ml). The total phenolic and flavonoid content was found to be 130.79±5.502 and 45.8±1.63 μg/ml, respectively.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong><em>Polygonum equisetiforme</em> is a promising medicinal plant, and our study tends to support the therapeutic value of this plant as an antioxidant drug.</p>

Four furanocoumarins: bergapten, xanthotoxin, isopimpinellin (linear furanocoumarins) and sphondin (angular furanocoumarin) were isolated for the first time from callus tissues of <em>Pastinaca sativa</em> L.(<em>Apiaceae</em>) cultured in vitro on solid medium. The compounds were identified using spectral methods. They are well-known secondary metabolites of the intact plant. This is the first report on the isolation of sphondin from in vitro plant cultures.

The aerial parts of three endemic Centaurea L. species, namely C. tomorosii Micevski, C. soskae Hayek and C. galicicae Micevski, afforded sesquiterpene lactone cnicin (1) and seven flavonoids: apigenin (2), isokaempferide (3), hispidulin (4), eupatorin (5), cirsimaritin (6), santaflavone (7) and salvigenin (8). The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by UV, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy and HR-ESI-MS spectrometry. 1H NMR spectroscopy was used as a method for quantitative analysis of sesquiterpene lactone cnicin.

Abstract Six hydroxycinnamic acids : caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid 2-O-caffeoyltartaric acid (caftaric acid) and 2,3-O-dicaffeoyltartaric acid (chicoric acid) have been isolated from Lapsana communis L. subsp. communis aerial parts. Among flavonoids, only isoquercitrin, luteolin and luteolin-7-O-β-glucuronide were identified. Except for chlorogenic acid, these com­ pounds represent the first report in Lapsana communis. Chicoric acid is the major phenylpropanoic constituent in this plant.

Abstract Two new pentacyclic triterpenes 8,26-cyclo-urs-21-en-3β, 20β-diol (1) and 3β-acetoxy-8.26- cyclo-ursan-20β-ol (2) together with 3-friedelanone, oleanolic acid, betulinic acid, lupeol acetate, α- and β-amyrine, S.SJ^'-tetrahydroxyflavane, and 3,5,7,3',4'-pentahydroxyflavane were isolated from the stem bark of Ficus cordata (Moraceae). The structures of these secondary metabolites were established using ID and 2D NMR spectra and by comparison with published data or with authentic samples. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited weak antibacterial and no antifungal activity.
