A diterpenoid with antifeedant activity from Scutellaria rubicunda
1999
Abstract Two diterpenoids have been isolated from Scutellaria rubicunda subsp. linneana : (11 S ,13 S ,15 R and S , 16 R ,19 S )-6 α -acetoxy-19-tigloyloxy-2 α ,19;4 α ,18;11,16;15,16-tetraepoxy-neo-clerodan-15-ol (scutecyprol B) and (11 S ,13 S ,15 R and S , 16 R ,19 S )-6 α -acetoxy-2 α ,19;4 α ,18;11,16;15,16-tetra-epoxy-neo-cleroda-15,19,diol (scutalbin C). Both compounds were tested for antifeedant activity against larvae of some species of Lepidoptera. Scutecyprol B shows potent activity at 100 ppm.
Scuteparvin, a new neoclerodane diterpenoid from Scutellaria parvula
2004
Abstract The diterpenoid fraction occurring in the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Scutellaria parvula has been investigated. Only one neoclerodane diterpenoid, scuteparvin, was isolated and its structure elucidated as 4α,18-epoxy-6α- trans -cinnamoyloxy- neo clerod-13-en-15,16-olide, a new natural product. Scuteparvin is quite similar to the already known ajugarin V from Ajuga remota , the only difference being the occurrence of a trans -cinnamoyl ester system instead of an acetate on the 6α-OH group. This finding confirms that the genera Scutellaria and Ajuga are closely related taxonomically.
A unified synthetic approach to trachylobane-, beyerane-, atisane- and kaurane-type diterpenes
2006
A general synthetic approach to the polycyclic carbon skeleton of biogenetically related trachylobane, beyerane, atisane, and kaurane diterpenes from carvone is described. The skeleton of these diterpenes is prepared from a common intermediate, that is, 25, readily prepared from carvone using an IMDA reaction and an intramolecular diazo ketone cyclopropanation of an unsaturated ketone as key steps. The tetracyclic diterpene ring systems are obtained from this key trachylobane-type intermediate through the regioselective reductive cleavage of the cyclopropane ring, after adequate modification of the functionalization around the tricyclo[3.2.1.02,7]octane moiety.
Photochemical Transformations of Some Neoclerodane and Labdane Diterpene Ketones
1999
Some neoclerodane (2–4) and labdane (5 and 6) diterpene ketones having a β- or γ-hydroxy function, an α-epoxy group, or an α-olefinic double bond have been irradiated at λ = 313 nm in dry solvents (benzene or methanol). Fruticolone (2) yielded the naturally occurring 5,6-seco-neoclerodan-6,1α-olide derivative fruticolide (1), while hispanolone (5) gave the δ-lactone 8, both transformations involving a Norrish type I photoreaction. The α,β-unsaturated ketone derivative 4 was transformed into 7 by a stereoselective intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition reaction involving its furanic 13(16)-double bond. Finally, the α-epoxy ketone 6 was rearranged to the 10(98)abeo-labda-7,9-dione derivative 10. …
An approach to erythrophleum alkaloids. Synthesis of methyl (−)-4-epi-cassamate
1986
Abstract A synthetic approach to Erythrophleum alkaloids, involving as a key-step the regiospecific deprotonation of the ketone 5a, is described.
Sesquiterpene lactones and lignans from Artemisia arborescens
1997
The aerial parts of Artemisia arborescens yielded, in addition to several known compounds, a new guaianolide, a new homoditerpene endoperoxide, a new lignan of the sesamin type and a new azulene derivative.
Terracinolides from Euphorbia terracina
1997
Abstract The aerial parts of Euphorbia terracina yielded five new bishomoditerpene lactones, named terracinolides C-G, which display the novel C 22 17-ethyljatrophane framework.
Ingenane and lathyrane diterpenes from the latex of Euphorbia canariensis
1997
The latex of Euphorbia canariensis yielded, in addition to five known ingenol esters, the ingenane derivatives ingenol 3-angelate 5,20-diacetate and 5-deoxyingenol 3-angelate 20-acetate, and the lathyrane derivatives 2,3-diepiingol 7,12-diacetate 8-benzoate, 2,3-diepiingol 7,12-diacetate 8-isobutyrate and 2-epiingol 3,7,12-triacetate 8-benzoate. The structures were established with the aid of spectroscopic methods, mainly NMR, and molecular mechanics calculations. They were also supported by the results of some chemical transformations.
Synthetic studies on neoclerodane diterpenes from Salvia splendens: oxidative modifications of ring A.
2011
Salvinorin A (1), a neoclerodane diterpene from the hallucinogenic mint Salvia divinorum, is the only known naturally occurring non-nitrogenous and specific κ-opioid agonist. Some oxidative modifications of the A ring in the congeners of 1 isolated from Salvia splendens salviarin, splenolide B, splendidin and in the non-natural 8-epi-salviarin gave new derivatives, some of which were tested as agonists at opioid receptors. However, none of these compounds were active. The presence of the C-18, C-19 lactone could be at the origin of the observed lack of binding affinity.
