Ursane-Type Triterpene Saponins fromZygophyllum geslini
Four new ursane-based triterpene glycosides, compounds 1–4, as well as the known glycosides zygophylosides E, G, and H, and 3-O-(β-D-quinovopyranosyl)quinovic acid 28-(O-β-D-glucopyranosyl) ester, were isolated from the BuOH-soluble fraction of the MeOH/H2O 7 : 3 extracts of Zygophyllum geslini (roots or aerial parts). Their structures were established mainly by 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques, in combination with HR-MS analysis and acid hydrolysis.
Four new triterpene saponins from Bupleurum rigidum L.
Abstract Four previously undescribed triterpene saponins (1-4) were isolated from the EtOH/H2O extract of the aerial parts of Bupleurum rigidum, together with a known structural analogue. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of 1D-(1H, 13C) and 2D-NMR (1H-1H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HSQC, HMBC) spectroscopic data and mass spectrometry (ESI- and HR-ESI-MS) and by comparison with those of related metabolites. An unusual structure was characterized as 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-[ β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)]- β-D-fucopyranosyl-21-O-β-D-glucoyranosyl-3β,16β,21β,23-tetrahydroxy-13,28-epoxyolean-11-ene (1). The three other compounds shared the same sugar sequence as 1 and differed by the st…
New pregnane and phenolic glycosides from Solenostemma argel.
Abstract From the aerial parts, pericarps and roots of Solenostemma argel, three new pregnane glycosides (1–3) with two known ones and a new phenolic glycoside (4) have been isolated. Their structures were established by extensive 1D – and 2D NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis. The cytotoxicity of all compounds was evaluated against two human tumor cell lines (SW 480, MCF-7), but none of them was active in the concentration range 0.9–59.0 μM. Compounds 2 and the known argeloside F at non toxic concentrations for the PBMCs (27.3 μM and 27.6 μM, respectively) significantly decreased the Il-1β production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs. All isolated compounds showed a significant antioxidant potentia…
Triterpene saponins from the roots of Bupleurum spinosum Gouan
Abstract Three previously undescribed triterpene saponins, and four known ones, were isolated from the EtOH/H2O extract of the roots of Bupleurum spinosum. Their structures were characterized using spectroscopic techniques including 1D and 2D NMR (1H, 13C, COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HSQC, and HMBC) experiments and mass spectrometry as 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)]-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3β,16β,23,28-tetrahydroxyolean-12-ene, 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)]-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)]-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3β,16β,28-trihydroxy-23-oxoolean-12-ene, 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→4)]-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3β,16β,2…
Chemical constituents from Phlomis bovei Noë and their chemotaxonomic significance
Abstract A phytochemical investigation of the leaves and roots of Phlomis bovei Noe (Lamiaceae) led to the isolation of sixteen compounds, including iridoids (1, 2, 3), megastigmanes (4, 5), phenylpropanoids (6, 7, 8, 9, 10), lignans (11, 12, 13, 14), a nortriterpene (15), and a phenyl glucoside (16). Compounds (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 10) were obtained from the leaves and compounds (1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) were isolated from the roots. Compounds 1 and 2 were found both in the leaves and in roots. The compounds were identified by analysis of 1D- (1H, 13C), 2D-NMR (1H–1H COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HSQC, HMBC) spectroscopic data, mass spectrometry (ESI- and HR-ESI-MS), and by comparison wit…
