Abstract:Thirteen compounds (1-13) were isolated from a MeOH extract of leaves of Glochidion rubrum. The structures of four new compounds were elucidated to be (-)-isolariciresinol 2a-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), (7R,8S)- and (7R,8R)-4,7,9,9'-tetrahydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxy-8-O-4'-neolignan 7-O-beta-D-glucopyranosides (2 and 3, respectively), and tachioside 2'-O-4''-O-methylgallate (4) on detailed inspection of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectral data.
“…The other known compounds were identified as 7 R ,8 S -dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4- O -β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside ( 4 ) [ 26 ], icariside E 4 ( 5 ) [ 17 ], isomassonianoside B ( 6 ) [ 27 ], sakuraresinol ( 7 ) [ 28 ], selaginellol 4′- O -β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside ( 8 ) [ 21 ], 7 R ,8 R -4,7,9,9′-tetrahydroxy-3,3′-dimethoxy-8- O -4′-neolignan-7- O -β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside ( 9 ) [ 29 ], 7 R ,8 R -4,9,9′-trihydroxy-3,3′-dimethoxy-8- O -4′-neolignan ( 10 ) [ 30 ], 7 S ,8 S -4,9,9′-trihydroxy-3,3′-dimethoxy-8- O -4′-neolignan ( 11 ) [ 30 ], 7 R ,8 S -4,7,9,9′-tetrahydroxy-3,3′-dimethoxy-8- O -4′-neolignan-7- O -β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside ( 12 ) [ 29 ], 7 S ,8 R -4,7,9-trihydroxy-3,3′-dimethoxy-8- O -4′-neolignan-9′- O -β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside ( 13 ) [ 31 ], buddlenol A ( 14 ) [ 32 ], aleuritin ( 17 ) [ 33 ], fraxinol ( 18 ) [ 34 ], and 5,6,7-trimethoxycoumarin ( 19 ) [ 34 ] based on the comparison of their spectroscopic data and specific rotation with the reported data.…”
Three new neolignan glycosides (1–3), a new phenolic glycoside (15), and a new cyanoglycoside (16) were isolated and characterized from the twigs of Aleurites fordii together with 14 known analogues (4–14 and 17–19). The structural elucidation of the new compounds was performed through the analysis of their NMR, HRMS, and ECD spectra and by chemical methods. All isolated compounds were tested for their antineuroinflammatory and neuroprotective activities.
Chinese ripe pu-erh tea is produced by aerobic microbial fermentation of green tea. To clarify the microbial degradation of tea polyphenols, Japanese commercial green tea was mixed with Chinese ripe puerh tea, which retains microorganisms, and fermented for 5 d. Chromatographic separation yielded a novel water-soluble yellow pigment termed theagalloflavic acid. Spectroscopic and chemical evidence suggested that this pigment was produced by oxidative ring cleavage of hexahydroxydiphenoyl esters. In addition, two new oxygenated lignin metabolites, ( )-5,5′-dihydroxypinoresinol and 5-hydroxydihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol, were also isolated together with known degradation products of quercetin and tea catechins.
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.
