Star-shaped conjugated compounds forming nematic discotic systems
2004
Abstract Star-shaped compounds, having a benzene ( 9a,b ) or a 1,3,5-triazine ( 11a,b ) core and stilbenoid arms were prepared. Hexyloxy chains, attached in the middle of the arms, provide nematic discotic phases ND, which are unusual for such systems. The position of the sidechains prevents the micro-segregation, which is valid for star-shaped discs of columnar phases. The stilbenoid character of 9a,b and 11a,b guarantees a high light sensitivity. Apart from the statistical CC bond formation by irradiation in solution or in the LC phases, a topochemically controlled chemo-, regio- and stereoselective photocyclodimerization 11a → 12 was found in the crystalline state. The structure determin…
Self-Assembly of Zr(C2O4)44– Metallotectons and Bisimidazolium Cations: Influence of the Dication on H-Bonded Framework Dimensionality and Material P…
2011
Assemblies involving [Zr(C2O4)4]4– metallotectons (C2O42– = oxalate) and linear, flexible, or V-shaped organic cations (H2-Lx)2+ derived from the 1,4-bisimidazol-1-ylbenzene molecule have been envisioned to elaborate porous frameworks based on ionic H-bonds. Five architectures of formula [{(H2-L1)2Zr(C2O4)4}·2H2O] (1), [{(H2-L2)2Zr(C2O4)4}·6H2O] (2), [{(H2-L3)2Zr(C2O4)4}·6H2O] (3), [{(H2-L4)2Zr(C2O4)4}·H2O] (4), and [{(H2-L5)2Zr(C2O4)4}·6H2O] (5) (with L1 = p-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene, L2 = p-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)benzene, L3 = p-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-2,5-dimethylbenzene, L4 = p-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, L5 = m-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene) have been obtained; 1–3, and 5 show an open-f…
Cytotoxic bufadienolides from the leaves of a medicinal plant Melianthus comosus collected in South Africa.
2020
Abstract From the leaves of South African medicinal plant Melianthus comosus, four previously undescribed bufadienolides, 16β-formyloxymelianthugenin (1), 2β-acetoxymelianthusigenin (2), 2β-hydroxy-3β,5β-di-O-acetylhellebrigenin (3), and 2β-acetoxy-5β-O-acetylhellebrigenin (4) were isolated together with two known bufadienolides. The structural elucidation of the compounds was based on 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and other spectroscopic methods. The relative configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography analysis and NOESY correlations. The isolated compounds displayed strong cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells, sensitive…
Clerodane diterpenoids from Salvia splendens.
2006
Four new clerodane diterpenoids, salvisplendins A-D (1-4), have been isolated from an acetone extract of the flowers of SalVia splendens, together with an artifact (5), arising from salvisplendin D (4) by addition of diazomethane, and the already known clerodane olearin (6). The structures of the new compounds (1-5) were established mainly by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies and, in the case of salvisplendin A (1), by chemical correlation with splenolide B (7). Complete 1H and 13C NMR assignments for olearin (6), not published hitherto, are also reported.
Trimeric Hemibastadin Congener from the Marine Sponge Ianthella basta
2012
The first naturally occurring trimeric hemibastadin congener, sesquibastadin 1 (1), and the previously reported bastadins 3, 6, 7, 11, and 16 (2-6) were isolated from the marine sponge Ianthella basta, collected in Indonesia. The structure of 1 was elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR measurements and by HRMS. Among all the isolated compounds, the linear sesquibastadin 1 (1) and bastadin 3 (2) showed the strongest inhibition rates for at least 22 protein kinases (IC(50) = 0.1-6.5 μM), while the macrocyclic bastadins (3-6) demonstrated a strong cytotoxic potential against the murine lymphoma cell line L5178Y (IC(50) = 1.5-5.3 μM).
Steroidal saponins from Chlorophytum deistelianum.
2016
Abstract Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Chlorophytum deistelianum led to the isolation of four previously undescribed steroidal saponins called chlorodeistelianosides A–D with five known ones. Their structures were established mainly by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques and mass spectrometry as (25R)-3β-[(β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-[α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)]-β- d -xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-[β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β- d -galactopyranosyl)oxy]-5α-spirostan-12-one, (24S,25S)-24-[(β- d -glucopyranosyl)oxy]-3β-[(β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-[β- d -xylopyranosyl-(1 → 3)]-β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β- d -galactopyranosyl)ox…

Abstract Phytochemical investigation of the under-ground parts of Hydrocotyle bonariensis led to the isolation of five oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins, 3- O -{β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-[α- l -arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 3)]-β- d -glucuronopyranosyl}-21- O -(2-methylbutyroyl)-22- O -acetyl-R 1 -barrigenol, 3- O -{β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-[α- l -arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 3)]-β- d -glucuronopyranosyl}-21- O -(2-methylbutyroyl)-28- O -acetyl-R 1 -barrigenol, 3- O -{β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-[α- l -arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 3)]-β- d -glucuronopyranosyl}-21- O -acetyl-R 1 -barrigenol, 3- O -{β- d -glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-[α- l -arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 3)]-β- d -glucuronopyranosyl}-R 1 -barrigenol, a…
Triterpene saponins from Billia rosea.
2017
Five previously undescribed triterpene saponins, billiosides A-E, and a known analogue, were isolated from the seeds of Billia rosea (Planch. & Linden) C. Ulloa & P. Jorg. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR experiments (1H, 13C, DEPT, COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, ROESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and mass spectrometry as (3β,21β,22α)-3-[(2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-O-[α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 4)]-β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-21-[((2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-6-hydroxyocta-2,7-dienoyl)oxy]-22-(acetyloxy)-24-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, (3β,21β,22α)-3-[(2-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]-21,22-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-yl O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-D-glucopyranoside, (3β…
1H-NMR spectroscopic studies of paramagnetic superstructured iron(III) porphyrinsThis article is dedicated to the memory of Professor Michel Momentea…
2002
The electronic properties of several superstructured iron(III) porphyrins, in which the two faces of the porphyrin are protected by two chains linked at the opposite phenyl rings, have been investigated. The paramagnetic 1H NMR spectra of three iron(III) “basket-handle” porphyrins such as FeIII[e-BHP(C12)2], FeIII[a-BHP(C12)2] and FeIII[e-BHP(C12)(ImC11)] in organic solvent have been assigned. The 1H T1 values of the signals were measured and resonance assignments made based on NOESY and COSY experiments. The electronic structure of the iron(III) is discussed on the basis of the temperature dependence of the isotropic shifts and relaxation times. The hyperfine-shifted resonances in these sp…
Glandulosides A-D, triterpene saponins from Acanthophyllum glandulosum.
2004
Four novel triterpenoid saponins, glandulosides A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4), together with two known saponins (5 and 6) have been isolated from the roots of Acanthophyllum glandulosum. Their structures were elucidated using a combination of homo- and heteronuclear 2D NMR techniques (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and by FABMS. The new compounds were characterized as 23-O-beta-D-galactopyranosylgypsogenic acid-28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-[beta-d-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)]-beta-D-galactopyranoside (1), 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)]-beta-D-glucuronopyranosylgypsogenin-28-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alpha-l-rhamn…
