Xanthones and sesquiterpene derivatives from a marine-derived fungus Scopulariopsis sp.
2016
Abstract Two new xanthone derivatives, 12-dimethoxypinselin ( 1 ) and 12- O -acetyl-AGI-B4 ( 2 ), as well as two new phenolic bisabolane-type sesquiterpenes, 11,12-dihydroxysydonic acid ( 15 ) and 1-hydroxyboivinianic acid ( 16 ), together with one new alkaloid, scopulamide ( 21 ) and one new α-pyrone derivative, scopupyrone ( 26 ), in addition to twenty-three known compounds ( 3 – 14 , 17 – 20 , 22 – 25 , 27 – 29 ) were isolated from solid rice cultures of the marine-derived fungus Scopulariopsis sp. obtained from the Red Sea hard coral Stylophora sp. All compounds were unambiguously identified through extensive NMR spectroscopic analyses, and by comparison with the literature. Marfey's re…
Diversity of Pharmacological Properties in Chinese and European Medicinal Plants: Cytotoxicity, Antiviral and Antitrypanosomal Screening of 82 Herbal…
2011
In an extensive screening, the antiviral, antitrypanosomal and anticancer properties of extracts from 82 plants used in traditional Chinese medicine and European phytomedicine were determined. Several promising plants that were highly effective against hepatitis B virus (HBV), bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV)—a flavivirus used here as a surrogate in vitro model of hepatitis C virus, trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei brucei) and several cancer cell lines were identified. Six aqueous extracts from Celosia cristata, Ophioglossum vulgatum, Houttuynia cordata, Selaginella tamariscina, Alpinia galanga and Alpinia oxyphylla showed significant antiviral effects against BVDV without toxic effects …
