Analysis of Rabbit Vascular Responses to DBI, an Ingol Derivative Isolated from Euphorbia canariensis
1997
Abstract We have analysed the effects of 7,12-O-diacetyl-8-O-benzoil-2,3-diepiingol (DBI), an ingol derivative isolated from E. canariensis, on isometric tension developed by isolated rabbit basilar and carotid arteries. Concentration-response curves to DBI (10−8 - 3 × 10−5 m) were obtained cumulatively in both arteries at resting tension and active tone (KC1, 50 mm). At resting tension, DBI induced a concentration-dependent contraction, which was not inhibited in Ca2+-free medium. H7 (1-(5-isoquinoline sulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dichloride) (10−4 m) inhibited the DBI-induced contraction both in basilar and in carotid arteries. Calmidazolium (10−4 m) inhibited the maximum contraction of …
New umbelliferone sesquiterpene ethers from roots ofLigularia persica
1991
An extract of roots of Ligularia persica yielded thirteen umbelliferone sesquiterpene ethers, among them the new ones ligupersin A (11) and ligupersin B (13).
Jatrophane derivatives and a rearranged jatrophane from Euphorbia terracina
1998
Abstract The aerial parts of Euphorbia terracina yielded 11 new jatrophane derivatives as well as a further diterpene displaying the novel 1(15 → 14) abeo -jatrophane framework.
Sesquiterpene lactones and dihydroflavonols from Andryala and Urospermum species
1994
Abstract The aerial parts of two Andryala species yielded several guaianolides and guaianolide glycosides, three of them being new. The aerial parts of Urospermum dalechampii yielded several known germacranolides and the new dihydroflavonol 3- O -methyltaxifolin.
Sesquiterpenes from Centaurea aspera
2005
Abstract The aerial parts of two subspecies of Centaurea aspera L. (Asteraceae) yielded the germacranolides 1a – h , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 , the elemane derivatives 6d and 6f , the lignan matairesinol, the degraded terpene loliolide, and the onopordopicrin–valine dimeric adduct 7 . From these, compounds 1e , 3 and 6d are natural products. The chemical composition of the two subspecies is very similar, a circumstance which does not support a taxonomic subdivision of the species.
Terracinolides from Euphorbia terracina
1997
Abstract The aerial parts of Euphorbia terracina yielded five new bishomoditerpene lactones, named terracinolides C-G, which display the novel C 22 17-ethyljatrophane framework.
Comparative Analysis of the Vascular Actions of Diterpenes Isolated from Euphorbia canariensis
1998
Abstract We have analysed the effects of 2,3-diepiingol 7,12-diacetate-8-isobutyrate (compound 1), ingenol-3-angelate-17-benzoate (compound 2), ingenol-3-angelate-17-benzoate-20-acetate (compound 3) and 3,5,7,8,9,15-hexahydroxyjatropha-6(17),11-dien-14-one-5,8-bis(2-methylbutyrate)-7-(2-methylpropionate) (compound 4), four diterpenes isolated from E. canariensis, on the isometric tension developed by isolated rabbit basilar and carotid arteries. Concentration-response curves to these compounds were obtained cumulatively in both arteries at resting tension and active tone (KCl, 50 mM). At resting tension a concentration-dependent contraction was induced by the four compounds. In the basilar …

A novel germacranolide-aminoacid adduct dimer from centaurea aspera
1991
Abstract The novel germacronolide-valine adduct dimer 1 has been isolated from aerial parts of Centaurea aspera var. aspera . Its structure has been determined by spectroscopic methods.
Ingenane and lathyrane diterpenes from the latex of Euphorbia canariensis
1997
The latex of Euphorbia canariensis yielded, in addition to five known ingenol esters, the ingenane derivatives ingenol 3-angelate 5,20-diacetate and 5-deoxyingenol 3-angelate 20-acetate, and the lathyrane derivatives 2,3-diepiingol 7,12-diacetate 8-benzoate, 2,3-diepiingol 7,12-diacetate 8-isobutyrate and 2-epiingol 3,7,12-triacetate 8-benzoate. The structures were established with the aid of spectroscopic methods, mainly NMR, and molecular mechanics calculations. They were also supported by the results of some chemical transformations.
Acetylcholinesterase and antioxidant evaluation of C18-functionalized ferruginol analogues
2019
Nearly 200 years ago, the study of the chemistry of terpenoids started with the analysis of turpentine oil, investigating the first resin acid, abietic acid from pine oleoresin.[1] Abietic acid occurs in plants of the genus Abies and is the first member of a class of plant metabolites, the abietane-type diterpenoids. They are characterized by a tricyclic ring system and have shown a wide range of chemical diversity and biological activity. [2,3] Medicinal chemists have studied derivatives of two readily available materials such as dehydroabietic acid and dehydroabietylamine. [3] To date, there is only one commercial drug, Ecabet® [ecabet sodium], based on abietanes, which is used for the tr…
