A new indolyl-6,10b-dihydro-5aH-[1]benzofuro[2,3-b]indole derivative, varioloid A (1), was isolated from the marine alga-derived endophytic fungus Paecilomyces variotii EN-291. Its structure was elucidated on the basis of extensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR data and the absolute configuration was determined by time-dependent density functional theory-electronic circular dichroism (TDDFT-ECD) calculations. A similar compound, whose planar structure was previously described but the relative and absolute configurations and 13C NMR data were not reported, was also identified and was tentatively named as varioloid B (2). Both compounds 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxicity against A549, HCT116, and HepG2 cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 2.6 to 8.2 µg/mL.

Deprotonation of hexaethyl-2,4-dicarba-nido-borane(8) 2 leads first to the hexaethyl-2,4-dicarbanido- borate(1−) 3, and further deprotonation, using BuLi/KOtBu, gives the hexaethyl-2,4-dicarbanido- hexaborate(2−) 4. The reaction of 3 with FeCl2 affords the commo-ferracarborane [Fe(Et6-2,4- C2B4H)2] 5, and the analogous reaction of 4 leads to the anionic sandwich complex [Fe(Et6-2,4- C2B4)2]2− 6 which can be protonated to give 5. The complex 5 contains two hydrido ligands, each bridging the iron and two boron atoms. Reactions were monitored and the products were characterised by 11B NMR spectroscopy in solution. The geometries of the carboranes, the borates (all unsubstituted and permethyl-substituted) and the iron complexes (all unsubstituted) were optimised by DFT methods [B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) or B3LYP/6-31+G(d)], and the relevant NMR data [chemical shifts δ11B, δ13C, δ57Fe, and coupling constants 1J(13C,1H), 1J(11B,1H), 1J(57Fe,1H), 1J(57Fe,11B)] were calculated at the same level of theory.

Chemical investigation of the n-BuOH-soluble fraction of the EtOH extract of the aerial part of Curcuma longa led to the isolation of 11 flavonol glycosides and one dihydroflavonol glucoside (1) via chromatography over Sephadex LH-20 and Lobar RP-18 columns. Although they are known, the 1H and 13C NMR data recorded in CD3OD rather than the common DMSO- d6 are doubly checked via extensive 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, leading to some revisions of the reported data, especially for the glycon part.

Trimethylborane (1), triethylborane (2), 1,3-dimethyl-1-boracyclopentane (3), 1-methyl-1- boracyclohexane (4), 9-methyl- and 9-ethyl-9-borabicyclo[3.1.1]nonane [5(Me) and 5(Et)], and 1- boraadamantane (6) were studied by 11B and 13C NMR spectroscopy with respect to coupling constants 1J(13C,11B) and 1J(13C,13C). Results of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory show satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. Hyperconjugation arising from C-C σ bonds adjacent to the tricoordinate boron atom is indicated, in particular for 1-boraadamantane (6), by the optimised calculated structures, and by the experimental and calculated data 1J(13C,13C). The calculated magnitude of 1J(13C,1H) for carbon atoms adjacent to boron becomes significantly smaller if the optimised structures suggest hyperconjugative effects arising from these C-H bonds

From the leaves of Zizyphus glabrata, a new dammarane-type triterpene, pseudojujubogenin -3-O- β -D-glucopyranoside, along with the known ceanothane triterpenes, granulosic acid, ceanothic acid and daucosterol were isolated. The structures of the compounds were fully characterized by detailed NMR investigations including 1H and 13C NMR, HSQC, COSY, HMBC and NOESY experiments. In addition, the dammarane glycoside was tested for its potential to inhibit various bacteria and was found to possess significant bactericidal activity. The 1H, 13C and full 2D-NMR data on granulosic acid has also been presented. This is the first report on the chemical constituents of the leaves of Z. glabrata.

A thoroughly structural characterization of (TTC)GePh (TTC [Formula: see text] 5,10,15-tritolylcorrole; Ph [Formula: see text] phenyl) in solution has been carried out through a combination of 2D NMR (1H-1H COSY, 1H-1H ROESY, 1H-[Formula: see text]C HSQC and 1H-[Formula: see text]C HMBC) experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the molecular and electronic structure and the shielding constants. The 1H and [Formula: see text]C chemical shifts computed at DFT-S12g and DFT-SAOP levels of theory nicely reproduce the experimental values, the agreement between theory and experiment being especially good for the DFT-S12g results. The calculations prove to be able to capture the fine details of the NMR spectra and to resolve some assignment ambiguities related to the inherent conformational flexibility of the macrocycle. The calculations also provide an explanation of the observed chemical shift trends in terms of diamagnetic and paramagnetic components of the shielding tensor.

Careful reevaluation of the 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data of filifolinol acetate (4) led to the reassignment of the C-10 and C-11 signals, as well as the gem-dimethyl signals. Single crystal X-ray analysis provided an independent structural confirmation of 4, and comparison of the experimental vibrational circular dichroism spectrum with calculations performed using density functional theory provided the absolute configuration of this 3H-spiro-1-benzofuran-2,1′-cyclohexane and related molecules.

Mesorhizobium loti mutant 2213.1 derived from the wild-type strain NZP2213 by Tn5 mutagenesis showed impaired effectiveness of symbiosis with the host plant Lotus corniculatus (Turska-Szewczuk et al., 2007 Microbiol Res, in press). The inability of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from the mutant 2213.1 strain or de-O-acetylated LPS of the parental cells to inactivate phage A1 particles implicated alterations in the LPS structure. The O-specific polysaccharide of the mutant was studied by chemical analyses along with (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, which clearly confirmed alterations in the O-chain structure. 2D NMR data showed that the mutant O-polysaccharide consists of a tetrasaccharide repeating unit containing non-substituted as well as O-acetylated or O-methylated 6-deoxytalopyranose residues. Additionally, an immunogold assay revealed a reduced number of gold particles on the mutant bacteroid cell surface, which could result from both a diminished amount of an O-antigenic determinant in mutant LPS and modifications of structural epitopes caused by alterations in O-acetylation or O-methylation of sugar residues. Western immunoblot assay of alkaline de-O-acetylated lipophilic M. loti NZP2213 LPS showed no reactivity with homologous serum indicating a role of O-acetyl groups in its O-specificity.
