Enzyme-catalysed transformations of ent-kaurane diterpenoids
2005
Several acetyl derivatives of linearol, atractyligenin and atractylitriol were obtained through enzyme-catalysed acetylation and deacetylation reactions. In most reactions lipases showed regio- and stereoselective behaviour, allowing a family of novel compounds to be prepared. Fil: Monsalve, Leandro Nicolas.

Cytotoxic activity of diterpenoids isolated from the aerial parts of Elaeoselinum asclepium subsp. meoides.
2008
The phytochemical investigation of the acetone extract of the aerial parts of Elaeoselinum asclepium (L.) Bertol. subsp. meoides (Desf.) Fiori afforded several known diterpenoids as well as meoidic acid ( 5), new in the literature. The cytotoxic activities of elasclepic acid ( 1), ENT-atis-16-en-19-oic acid ( 2), ent-beyer-15-en-19-oic acid ( 3), ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid ( 4) and meoidic acid ( 5) were investigated on rat glioma C6 cells by evaluation of cell growth inhibition.
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.
New insights into the bioactivity of cucurbitacins
2005
The cucurbitacins are a group of tetracyclic triterpenoids derived from the cucurbitane skeleton and found primarily in the Cucurbitaceae family. These triterpenoids, present in free or glycosidic form, are generally responsible for the bitter taste of the plants that contain them and are probably the principal cause of the antifeedant effects observed for such plants. Several plants used in traditional medicine to treat both inflammatory diseases as well as various types of tumors are rich in cucurbitacins, a fact which has given rise to several studies concerning their potential use as anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. Nevertheless, since many cucurbitacins are extremely toxic, rel…
Chromatogrphic Profiles of Polyphenols and Terpenoids in the Herbs of Some Thymus L. Represntatives
2022
The aim of the work. To perform the identification of phenolic compounds and terpenoids in the aerial parts of Thymus pulegioides L. (cultivar ‘2/6-07’), Thymus richardii Pers. (cultivar 'Fantasy') and Thymus vulgaris L. (cultivar ‘Jalos’) using thin layer chromatography (TLC), as well as to conduct the gaschromatographic analysis of Thymus richardii essential oil. Materials and Methods. The TLC method was used in this study for the qualitative analyses of polyphenols and non-polar compounds in the aerial part of three Thyme (Thymus L.) species from the Lamiaceae Martinov family cultivated in Kherson region (Ukraine). The volatile compounds were determined in the essential oil of Thymus ric…
Pyrolysis-gas chromatography : mass spectrometry analysis of di- and triterpenoids
2017
The objective of this work was to study a specific class of extractives existing in lignocellulosic biomass and more precisely in wood materials, and their thermochemical behavior during pyrolysis. The focus was centered on the class of terpenes and terpenoids; specifically two model compounds, abietic acid and betulinol, were chosen to represent the subclasses of di- and triterpenoids, respectively. The model compounds were investigated via pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and the main objective was to study their product profiles and characteristic fragmentations, as well as the influence of specific variables (pyrolysis temperature and time) on pyrolysis products…

The diterpenoids from the genus Sideritis
2006
ABSTRACT: The genus Sideritis consists of 100-150 or more species, growing mainly in the countries around the Mediterranean area. The genus is particularly rich in diterpenoids, occurring in almost all the species, and shows many different carbon skeleta. Several species are still used in traditional medicine. Recent studies indicated the occurrence of interesting biological activities, like anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-HIV replication, antifeedant, antiulcerogenic, analgesic, and antihypoglycaemic.

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and electrostatic potential study of naturally occurring cassane-type diterpenoid Pulcherrimin C monohy…
2019
Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound were carried out to analyse quantitatively the intermolecular interactions involved in the crystal packing. The electrostatic potential surface was generated over the Hirshfeld surface to visualize the potential active sites.
