Volatile components of aerial parts of Centaurea nigrescens an C. stenolepis growing wild in the Balkans

2010

The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Centaurea nigrescens Willd, collected in Romania and of two samples of C. stenolepis A. Kerner from Bulgaria and Romania were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed. The main components of C. stenolepis were caryophyllene oxide (6.9-15.6%), hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (6.5-4.4%), heptacosane (6.0-4.9%) and p-vinyl guiacol (4.3-5.0%). The main components of C. nigrescens were caryophyllene oxide (9.9%), β-eudesmol (9.5%), spathulenol (7.6%), heptacosane (6.1%) and p-vinyl guiacol (5.5%). The chemotaxonomic significance with respect to their co-location in Sections Lepteranthus and Nigrescentes, respectively, is discussed.

Essential Oil Composition of Tanacetum vulgare Subsp. Siculum (Guss.) Raimondo et Spadaro (Asteraceae) from Sicily

2009

Ninety-four components of the essential oils from aerial parts and capitula of Tanacetum vulgare subsp. siculum (Guss.) Raimondo et Spadaro were detected. α-Thujone, β-thujone and 1,8-cineole were the main constituents of the oils. The analysis allows the assignment of this Tanacetum species to the thujone chemotype.

Chemical composition of the essential oils of Centaurea formanekii and C. orphanidea ssp. thessala, growing wild in Greece.

2012

The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of Centaurea formanekii Halacsy and the aerial parts, capitula and roots of C. orphanidea Heldr. & Sart. ex Boiss. ssp. thessala (Hausskn.) Dostál from Greece were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed. The main components in C. formanekii were hexadecanoic acid (13.6%), δ-elemene (9.1%), and spathulenol (6.9%). The main components in C. orphanidea ssp. thessala were γ-elemene (26.1%) and caryophyllene oxide (13.2%) in the aerial parts, hexadecanoic acid (33.5%) and heptacosane (6.3%) in the capitula, and hexadecanoic acid methyl ester (22.0%) and α-chamigrene (14.0%) in the roots. The chemotaxonomic significance with respect to other…

Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil of Zingiber Zerumbet Var. Darcyi

2012

The chemical composition of essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation method from the rhizomes of Z. zerumbet var. darcyi was determined by GC and GC-MS. Thirty-three compounds, accounting for 93.6% of the oil were identified including twenty compounds in minor (0.1-0.6%) and eight in trace (<0.05%) amounts. The main compounds were zerumbone (69.9%) α-humulene (12.9%), humulene epoxide II (2.5%), caryophyllene oxide (1.1%) and camphene (1.9%). In this analysis, it has been found that the variety could be used as an additional new source of natural zerumbone besides Zingiber zerumbet. This is a first report on the analysis of Z. zerumbet var. darcyi oil.

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.

Volatile Components from Aerial parts of Centaurea gracilenta and C. ovina ssp. besserana Growing Wild in Bulgaria

2011

The essential oils of Centaurea gracilenta Velen. (CG) and C. ovina Pall. ex Willd. ssp. besserana (DC.) Dostál (COB) growing wild in Bulgaria, were studied by GC and GC-MS. Forty-five compounds for CG, representing the 90.1% of the oil, and 68 compounds for COB, representing the 91.9% of the oil, were identified. The oils were rich in sesquiterpenoids (33.4% for CG and 27.3% for COB), hydrocarbons (28.3% for CG and 10.7% for COB) and carbonylic compounds (12.7% for CG and 13.1% for COB). Fatty acids were abundant only for COB (31.3%). β-Eudesmol (12.8%), nonacosane (11.8%) and p-vinyl guiacol (7.5%) were recognized as the main constituents for CG, while hexadecanoic acid (21.4%), spathule…

New Steroidal Alkaloids from Solanum Hypomalacophyllum

2010

Two new steroidal alkaloids (1-2) have been isolated from the leaves and roots of Solanum hypomalacophyllum Bitter, respectively. Their structures have been elucidated as deacetoxysolaphyllidine-3- O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and 4-keto-5,6-dihydro-(20 S)-verazine (2). Furthermore, two known steroidal alkaloids, 20 R-verazine and 20 S-verazine, and the common secondary metabolites oleanolic acid and β-sitosterol were isolated from the roots, whereas deacetoxysolaphyllidine was obtained from the leaves.

Triterpenoid Saponins From the Root Bark of Haplocoelum congolanum

2019

Two undescribed triterpenoid saponins together with 5 known ones were isolated from the root bark of Haplocoelum congolanum Hauman. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance experiments in combination with mass spectrometry as 3- O-(4- O-[3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl])-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-l-arabinopyranosyloleanolic acid and 3- O-α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1→3)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-α-l-arabinopyranosyloleanolic acid.
