Mangifera camptosperma is a perennial tree that belongs to the family Anacardiaceae, which is distributed in Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar. In Vietnam, M. camptosperma is called as “Xoai bui”, and this plant is cultivated for its edible fruit. A triterpenoid, 12-ursene- 2α,3β-diol (1), and two steroids, stigmastane-3,6- dione (2) and ergosterol peroxide (3), together with two phenylpropanoids, coniferaldehyde (4) and 4-acetonyl-3,5-dimethoxy-p-quinol (5), were isolated from the wood of n-hexane extract of Mangifera camptosperma. Their chemical structures were ehecidated by spectroscopic methods as well as comparing with data in the literature. These compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant.

Urena lobata L. is used in Vietnamese traditional medicine for the treatment of several diseases. Tree roots are used to treat rheumatism, dysentery, poor digestion, flu, tonsils, malaria, asthma, goiter. Flowers are used to treat chickenpox, fever, and mental disorders. Branches, leaves or whole trees used to treat injuries bruises, rheumatism, mastitis, bites. Phytochemical investigation of the n-hexan and ethyl acetate extract of Urena lobata L. led to the isolation of β-sitosterol (1), β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), a-acetylamino-phenylpropyl a-benzoylamino-phenylpropanoate (3), quercetin (4), and trans-tiliroside (5). Their chemical structures were determined by spectroscopic methods including MS, 1D, 2D NMR and comparing with those reported in previous papers. Two compounds 3, 5 were isolated for the first time from Urena lobata plant.

Solanum procumbens L. is a medicinal plant belonging to the Solanaceae family. In Vietnam, it is known as "Ca gai leo", and it cultivated in some tropical countries in China, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. From the stem of the ethyl acetate extract of Solanum procumbens, we had isolated one anthraquinone (1), four polyphenols (2-5), and one indole (6). By spectroscopic methods as well as comparing with data in the literature, their chemical structures were elucidated as ziganein (1), benzoic acid (2), salicylic acid (3), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4), vanillic acid (5), and indole-3-carbaldehyde (6). These compounds were isolated for the first time from the genus Solanum.

Camellia chrysantha (the golden camellia, golden tea) is a species of evergreen shrub or small tree belonging to the family Theaceae. The flowers and the leaves of this plant are used as tea and drank for its health benefits. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical constituents of the flowers of Camellia chrysantha. Five flavonoids were isolated from the flowers of Camellia chrysantha (Theaceae), including (+)-catechin (1), (-)-epicatechin (2), quercetin (3), quercetin-3-O-methyl ether (4) and kaempferol (5). Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and by comparison with those reported in the literature. Among five compounds, compounds 4 was isolated for the first time from this species.

Propolis is a natural product produced by bees, and it is a mixture of resins and other bee excretions. The chemical composition of each type of propolis and its associated bioactivities also depend on the geographical regions, its food and the bee species. In Vietnam, propolis has been used in traditional medicine as the remedy to improve health and prevent diseases. From the ethanolic extract of the stingless bee propolis Trigona minor (Meliponini, Apidae), four lignan compounds were isolated. Their chemical structures were determined as (+)-isolariciresinol (1), 5-methoxy-(+)- isolariciresinol (2), (+)-lyoniresinol (3), and 6-(4- hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0] octan-2-one (4) by spectroscopic methods as well as comparing with data in the literature. Among them, compound 4 was the first isolated from natural sources, while others were isolated for the first time from this stingless bee propolis.

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.

AbstractPhytochemical investigation of Camphorosma lessingii has resulted in the isolation of four previously unreported isoflavones (1–4) and eight known compounds (5–12). Nine of these compounds (1–6, 8–10) are reported for the first time from members of the family Amaranthaceae. The structures of all isolated compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods, primarily one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of 6 was confirmed by circular dichroism. Inhibition of the organic anion transporters, OAT1 and OAT3, by the isolated compounds was evaluated. Among them, 7, 2′-dihydroxy- 6,8-dimethoxyisoflavone (1), 2′-hydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyisoflavone (2), 6,2′-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyisoflavone (3), and 7-methoxyflavone (5) showed a significant inhibitory effect on 6-carboxyfluorescein uptake mediated by OAT1 and OAT3.

Ten flavonoids (1–10), including a new glycoside (nevadensin-7-sambubioside, 7), together with a phenylpropanoid glycoside (11) were isolated from Lysionotus pauciflorus. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic methods and comparing with literature data. Five compounds (1, 3, 4, 8, and 9) were obtained from the family Gesneriaceae for the first time. The new compound was evaluated in vitro for anticholinesterase activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), but was found to be inactive.

A phthalide, levistolide A (1), and six coumarins, demethylsuberosin (2), fraxetin (3), (-)-marmesinin (4), 3'( S)- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3’,4'-dihydroxanthyletin (5), 3'( R)- O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3’,4'-dihydroxanthyletin (6), and isopraeroside IV (7) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the roots of Angelica tenuissima Nakai. Their chemical structures were confirmed by comparing spectroscopic and reported data. All seven compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant source. The anti-allergic activities of compounds 1-7 were examined using human mast cells, and compounds 1-3 at 10 μM potently suppressed IL-6 expression and inhibited histamine release from human mast cells by more than 30%.

Phytochemical investigation of Fissistigma cupreonitens (Annonaceae) led to the isolation of 34 compounds. The chemical structures of all compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods. Among the isolates, compounds 20–27 and 31–34 were reported from this genus for the first time. From the results of the cytotoxicity assay against three human cancer cell lines (NCI-H226, NPC-TW01, and Jurkat E6–1), oxoaporphine compounds oxoxylopine (1), oxocrebanine (3), kuafumine (4) and lysicamine (5), and the flavonoid adunctin E (26) displayed significant cytotoxicity against NCI-H226 cell line, with IC50 values of 8.45, 8.10, 8.54, 12.83 and 12.00 μM, respectively, in comparison with the standard drug, cisplatin with IC50 of 13.37 μM.
