Stereochemistry of terpene derivatives. Part 4:☆ Fragrant terpenoid derivatives with an unsaturated gem-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexane system
2005
Abstract Starting from (+)-3-carene 1 several chiral fragrant compounds with the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane system 4–6 and 10–20 were synthesized. These compounds are structural analogues of naturally occurring fragrant compounds, such as ionones and damascones, and possess either an endo- or an exo-cyclic double bond in the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane moiety. The absolute configuration of selected products was confirmed by X-ray crystallography and circular dichroism analysis.
New Triterpenoid and Ergostane Glycosides from the Leaves of Hydrocotyle umbellata L.
2011
Two new triterpenoid glycosides, together with two new ergostane glycosides, umbellatosides A–D (1–4, resp.), have been isolated from the leaves of Hydrocotyle umbellata L. Their structures were established by 2D-NMR spectroscopic techniques (1H,1H-COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and mass spectrometry as 3β,22β-dihydroxy-3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl]olean-12-en-28-oic acid 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (1), 3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl]oleanolic acid 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (2), (3β,11α,26)-ergosta-5,24(28)-diene-3,11,26-triol 3-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-11-O-(α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-26-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), and (3β,11α,21,26)-ergosta…
The Creolophins: A Family of Linear Triquinanes fromCreolophus cirrhatus (Basidiomycete)
2007
Complicatic acid and five novel linear triquinanes were isolated from mycelial cultures of Creolophus cirrhatus. The creolophins A, C, D, and E represent a novel type of highly oxidized triquinane sesquiterpenoids. Whereas those compounds with a secondary alcohol moiety in ring A are stable, the exomethylene ketone creolophin E (5) partly dimerized during workup to form the decacyclic 1,4-dioxepin-6-one neocreolophin (6). Compounds 5 and 6 display cytotoxic activities against several tumor cell lines.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)

Polyacanthoside A, a new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin with cytotoxic effects from the leaves of Acacia polyacantha (Fabaceae)
2018
The chemical investigation of the leaves and stem bark of Acacia polyacantha (Fabaceae) led to the isolation of a new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin named polyacanthoside A 1 together with fifteen known compounds. Their structures were established from spectral , mainly HRESIMS, 1D NMR and 2D NMR and by comparison with literature data. The cytotoxicity of compound 1 and the analogues 8 as well as doxorubicin was determined in a panel of 9 cancer cell lines including sensitive and drug resistant phenotypes. Unlike the analogue 8, compound 1 as well as doxorubicin displayed cytotoxic effects in all the 9 tested cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranged from 8.90 μM (towards CCRF-CEM leuke…
New Triterpene Saponins fromAcanthophyllum pachystegium
2004
Four new triterpenoid saponins, pachystegiosides A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4), were isolated from the roots of Acanthophyllum pachystegium K. H. Their structures were elucidated by means of a combination of homo- and heteronuclear 2D-NMR techniques (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and by FAB-MS. The new compounds were characterized as 3-O-{O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)]-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl}quillaic acid 28-{O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(14)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O-[3,4-di-O-acetyl-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(14)]-β-D-fucopyranosyl}ester (1), 3-O-{O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)]-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl}quillaic acid 28-{O-…
Triterpenoid saponins from Piptadeniastrum africanum (Hook. f.) Brenan
2013
One new triterpenoid saponin, named piptadeniaoside (1), along with two known saponins (2–3) have been isolated from the stem bark of Piptadeniastrum africanum. After previous isolation of flavone derivatives from this plant, new phytochemical investigations were performed for its saponin content. Their structures were established by direct interpretation of their spectral data, mainly HRESIMS, 1D NMR (1H, 13C NMR, DEPT) and 2D NMR (COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC), and by comparison with the literature data.
Vaccinium Genus Berry Waxes and Oils
2019
Vaccinium is a common and widespread genus of about 450 species of shrubs or dwarf shrubs in the heath family (Ericaceae). Most of Vaccinium species produce edible berries and many berries are widely cultivated at an industrial scale, for example, bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.), lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.), and cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos L.). These berries are important articles in the markets of berries in Northern countries both raw, and processed. Vaccinium berries are at first valued considering high vitamin concentrations as well as high concentrations of phenolics. However, also oils and waxes (lipids) of Vacciniu…
Monoterpenes in grape juice and wines.
2000
The importance of monoterpenes on varietal flavour of wines has been reviewed. These compounds were mainly found linked to sugar moieties in the grape juice and wines, showing no olfactive characteristics. In this way, mechanisms to liberate terpenes were studied, making a comparative study between acidic and enzymic hydrolysis of terpene glycosides. Finally, analytical techniques developed to study these compounds, in both free or glycosidically forms, and also to fractionate glycosidic precursors, have been discussed.
