Biologically Active Constituents from Plants of the Genus Desmos

Botanical Description, Traditional Uses, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacology of the Genus Artabotrys: A Review

“…It should be noted that polyoxygenated compounds are now popular in Annonaceae plants [73] . Paying attention to Artabotrys plants, eighteen polyoxygenated derivatives type cyclohexenes 177 – 194 and one cyclohexane 195 have been isolated till now ( Table 2 and Figure 6).…”

“…stem and root, respectively. [24,33] Chromatographic isolations on Artabotrys species have further identified the other sub-classes of alkaloids, including two known morphinans (+)-flavinantine ( 72) and (À )-salutaridine (73), two known aristolactams 10-amino-2,3,4-trimethoxyphenanthrene-1carboxylic acid lactam (74) and 10-amino-2,3,4,6tetramethoxyphenanthrene-1-carboxylic acid lactam (75), one known pyrrolidinecarboxamide squamolone (76), one new α,β-butenolide uncinine (77), and one known azaanthraquinone cleistopholine (78). [2,8,10] Compounds 72-73 were only found in the root of A. uncinatus, whereas compounds 76-77 were obtained from its stem and leaf, respectively.…”

“…[11] Triterpenoids are one of the most diverse groups of naturally occurring compounds. [72,73] Of Artabotrys species, triterpenoids highly concentrated on the parts of two species A. odoratissimus and A. pilosus. A list of eighteen compounds 125 -142 was summarized in Table 2 and Figure 4.…”

“…[11,20,24,59] It should be noted that polyoxygenated compounds are now popular in Annonaceae plants. [73] Paying attention to Artabotrys plants, eighteen poly-oxygenated derivatives type cyclohexenes 177 -194 and one cyclohexane 195 have been isolated till now (Table 2 and Figure 6). [24,49,[60][61][62] Murphy et al described the isolation and chemical elucidation new compound artabotrene (177), which was a metabolite of A. madagascariensis leaf and fruit.…”

Genus Tupistra: A Comprehensive Review of Phytochemistry and Pharmacological Activity

“…Flavonoids play a great role in food chemistry and pharmacology, and terrestrial plants are the main resource of this chemical class. 10,17,52,53 Flavonoid derivatives from Tupistra species are present in 3 skeletons, flavans ( 158-164 ), flav-2-ene ( 165 ), and flavones ( 166-171 ) (Table 1 and Figure 4). These compounds have only been reported for T. chinensis .…”
