Thirty-five tigliane diterpenoids and two entkaurane diterpenoids were isolated from the leaves of Croton damayeshu, and, among them, compounds 1−10 were characterized as new tigliane diterpenoids. The structures of compounds 1−10 were determined by analysis of their HRESIMS, NMR, and ECD data and by chemical methods. The isolates were assayed for their larvicidal, antifungal, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, and compounds 8−10 were found to possess larvicidal activities against Plutella xylostella with LC 50 values of 0.19, 0.16, and 0.26 μM, respectively, comparable to the LC 50 of 0.14 μM for the positive control, flubendiamide.
Four new triterpene glucosides (1-4) were isolated from the 90% ethanol extract of Salacia cochinchinensis, together with five known compounds (5-9). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis including HRESIMS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR analysis. All isolates were assayed for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compound 9 showed remarkable α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC 50 value of 0.31 μM, and the triterpene glycosides (1-5) exhibited moderate α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
