La dote, il ius singulare e il ‘sistema didattico’ di Gaio

2016

This paper discusses the idea that the gap regarding the dowry in Gaius’ Institutes is due to the fact that Gaius intentionally did not deal with this subject because he considered it as 'ius singulare' and that this omission was filled in by a 'liber singularis' outside the Institutes. The existence of a "didactic system" made up of the Gaius’ Institutes and four 'libri singulares' for the classical age of Roman Law is also disputed.

The Afrotropical genus Rhinolaetia Schouteden, 1965 and its systematic position within Scutelleridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera)

2016

The monotypic Afrotropical genus Rhinolaetia Schouteden, 1865 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) is redescribed. The head, wings, female genitalia and habitus of Rhinolaetia overlaeti Schouteden, 1965 are illustrated. Morphological features of Rhinolaetia and selected representatives of six scutellerid subfamilies are listed and compared. The systematic position of this genus is briefly discussed. Close affinity of Rhinolaetia overlaeti with representatives of subfamilies Odontotarsinae and Odontoscelinae is observed.

Occurrence of acid and neutral carboxypeptidases in germinating cereals

1986

High neutral metallocarboxypeptidase activity (EC 3.4.17) has earlier been detected in young seedlings of rice (Oryza sativa L.) using benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-alanine (Z-Phe-Ala) as substrate at pH 7. This finding was confirmed, and it was observed that the activity could be assayed with higher specificity and sensitivity by using Z-Gly-Ala or Z-Gly-Phe as substrate at pH 6.5–7. No corresponding activity was detected in seedlings of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya), oats (Avena sativa L.) or maize (Zea mays L.). The seedlings of the four cereals possessed similar activities of acid carboxypeptidases (EC 3.4.16; hydrolysis of Z-Phe-Ala and Z-Ala-Phe at pH 5.2 and of Z-Ala-…

Analysis of Essential Oils from Scutellaria orientalis ssp. alpina and S. utriculata by GC and GC-MS

2011

The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained from aerial parts of Scutellaria orientalis L. ssp. alpina (Boiss.) O. Schwarz and S. utriculata Labill. growing wild in Lebanon, were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. In S. orientalis ssp. alpina, strongly characterized by sesquiterpenes (41.2%) and particularly sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (31.7%), hexahydrofarnesylacetone (11.7%) was recognized as the main constituent, together with hexadecanoic acid (7.6%), caryophyllene (7.4%), caryophyllene oxide (6.8%), 4-vinylguaiacol (5.4%) and germacrene D (5.4%). S. utriculata oil was instead constituted above all by monoterpenes (42.2%), particularly oxygen containing monoterpenes (39.9%), and in t…

Minor diterpenoids from Scutellaria polyodon.

2000

Four minor neoclerodane diterpene constituents were isolated from the aerial parts of Scutellaria polyodon. These compounds were characterized as the new scupolins J (1) and K (2) and the previously known scutalpin O (3) and scutalsin.

Neoclerodane Diterpenoids from Scutellaria pontica

1997

Seven novel neoclerodane diterpenoids, scupontins A-G, have been isolated from the Me2CO extract of the aerial parts of Scutellaria pontica (1-7), together with the known neoclerodanes scutalbin A and scutalpin M. Structures 1-7 were established by exhaustive NMR spectroscopic studies and chemical transformations. Scupontins A-D(1-4, respectively) and scupontins E (5)andF(6) possess unusual [(3¢S,3¢¢S)-3¢-[(3¢¢-acetoxybutyryl)oxy]butyryloxy and [(3¢S,3¢¢S,3¢¢¢S)- 3¢-[[3¢¢-[(3¢¢¢-hydroxybutyryl)oxy]butyryl]oxy]butyryl]oxy substituents, respectively, attached to the C-19 position of the neoclerodane framework. In the case of the 6R,7â-dibenzoate derivative 7 (scupontin G) its absolute config…

Neoclerodane Diterpenoids from Scutellaria polyodon

1997

Nine new neoclerodane diterpenoids, scupolins A−I, have been isolated from an Me2CO extract of the aerial parts of Scutellaria polyodon (3−11), together with the known neoclerodanes jodrellin B (1) and scutecolumnin A (2). Structures 3−11 were established by spectroscopic means and by comparison with closely related compounds.
