Introduction: Euphorbia tirucalli L. is a medicinal plant popularly distributed in Asian countries. In Vietnam, only one study on the polar extract the plant Euphorbia tirucalli growing in Binh Thuan province, Vietnam was reported, revealing several phenolic components. As of 2019, no chemical reports on the non-polar extract from the Vietnamese plant were found. This research described the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the non-polar extract of E. tirucalli growing in Binh Thuan province. Method: The n-hexane extract of this plant was carried out by using normal phase silica gel column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, and gel chromatography (Sephadex LH-20). Analysis of spectroscopic data and a comparison of the NMR data with that in the literature led to the structural elucidation of isolated compounds. Results: Three terpenoid compounds, euphol (1), lupenone (2), and vomifoliol (3), along with ergosterol peroxide (4), ferulic acid (5), and vanillic acid (6) were isolated and elucidated. Conclusions: Among them, compound 3 and 4 were reported in the first time from E. tirucalli.

Euphorbia tirucalli has not been chemically studied much in Vietnam. This research described the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the plant collected in Binh Thuan. Multiple chromatographic methods were applied, including normal phase silica gel column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Seven compounds were isolated and their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis as well as comparing their data with the ones in the literature. They are arjunolic acid (1), eriodictyol (2), quercitrin (3), afzelin (4), scopoletin (5), 3,3′,4- trimethylellagic acid (6), and gallic acid (7). Among them, compound 1 a major component was isolated for the first time in Euphorbia genus, while three compounds 2, 4, and 5 were isolated from this species for the first time.

The lichen Roccella sinensis has not been studied chemically. This research described the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the lichen Roccella sinensis collected in Binh Thuan. Phytochemistry investigation of this lichen was carried out by using normal phase silica gel column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Six compounds was isolated. Their structures were established by extensively spectroscopic analysis as well as comparison with NMR data in the literatures. They are (+)-D-montagnetol (1), (+)-D-erythrin (2), lecanorin (3), 1-acetylerythritol (4), (E)-nostodione A (5), and 2,4-dihydroxyphthalide (6). This is the first time compounds 3 6 were found in the Roccella genus. Compounds 1, 2, and 6 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against HepG2 (liver hepatocellular carcinoma), NCI-H460 (human lung cancer), MCF-7 (human breast cancer), and HeLa (human epithelial cancer) and all of them showed no activity.

Introduction: Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. (Malvaceae) is a medicinal plant popularly distributed in Asian countries. As of 2019, no chemical investigations from the Vietnamese plant were found. This paper reported the isolation and elucidation of compounds isolated from the seeds of Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. (Malvaceae) growing in Binh Thuan province. Method: The maceration was applied to the seeds of the plant to afford the crude extract which was then fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction to obtain the ethyl acetate extract. The extract was carried out by using normal phase silica gel column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Analysis of spectroscopic data including HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D-NMR and a comparison of the NMR data with that in the literature led to the structural elucidation of isolated compounds. Results: Four flavonols comprising quercetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), quercetin (3) and kaempferol (4) were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract. Conclusions: This is the first time the isolated compounds were found from the seeds of this plant.

(Vietnamese name; L.), which belongs to the family, is an evergreen and perennial tree that is widely cultivated in Southeast Asia. In Vietnam, leaves of the species are used as an ordinary vegetable in many regions. The aim of this research is to investigate the chemical constituents of G. leaves collected from Lam Dong province, Vietnam. The fresh leaves were collected, dried, cut into small species, and extracted with ethanol to the extract. By using the column chromatography method together with thin layer chromatography on a normal phase silica gel with different solvent systems on the extract of the dried leaves of G. L., we isolated five pure compounds. The structures of 1-5 were elucidated by analyzing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data. The result was confirmed by comparison with publish data including (1), acid (2), acid (3), (4), and (5). To the best of our knowledge, compounds 1-3were isolated from this plant for the first time. This study is to provide a comprehensive overview of of G. , and possibly make recommendations for further research.

MeOH extracts of 37 herbs were tested in screening experiments for rat intestinal α-glucosidase. The MeOH extract of the aerial parts of Scutellaria lateriflora L. (Lamiaceae) significantly inhibited sucrase and maltase activities, using sucrose and maltase as the substrates. Enzyme inhibition guided-fractionation of the MeOH extract of S lateriflora resulted in the isolation of a new diterpene glucoside, deacetylajugarin-IV 18- O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), along with 20 known phenolics (2-21). The structures of 1-21 were elucidated on the basis of MS and NMR data analyses. Baicalein (4) and baicalin (10), a glycoside of 4, showed moderate sucrase inhibitory activities at IC50 values of 14.9 and 36.3 μM, respectively, whereas luteolin (3), acteoside (16), leucosceptoside A (18), and isoacteoside (20) showed weak inhibitory activities at IC50 values of 811, 522, 727, and 443 μM, respectively. This is the first report on mammalian α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of S lateriflora extract and identification of the constituents responsible for the activities. Apigenin (2), luteolin (3), 6-methoxyluteolin 4'-methyl ether (6), isoscutellarin 8- O-β-D-glucuronide (7), luteolin 7- O-β-D-glucuronide (9), wogonin 7- O-β-D-glucuronide methyl ester (12), eriodictyol (13), naringenin (14), naringenin 7- O-β-D-glucuronide (15), jionoside D (17), leucosceptoside A (18), and (+)-syringaresinol 4'- O-β-D-glucopyranoside (21) were isolated from this plant for the first time. The inhibitory properties of S lateriflora extract against α-glucosidase provide a prospect for its antidiabetic usage.
