The Constituents of Michelia compressa var. formosana and Their Bioactivities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phytochemical investigation of the heartwood of Michelia compressa afforded forty-four compounds, which were identified by comparison of experimental and literature analytical and spectroscopic data. Some compounds were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and anticancer bioactivities. The result showed that soemerine (1) and cyathisterol (2) exhibited significant nitric oxide (NO) inhibition, with IC50 values of 8.5±0.3 and 9.6±0.5 µg/mL, respectively. In addition, liriodenine (3) and oliveroline (4) exhibited cytotoxicity to human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC-TW01), non-small cell lung carcinoma (NCI-H226), T cell leukemia (Jurkat), renal carcinoma (A498), lung carcinoma (A549) and fibrosarcoma (HT1080) cell lines with IC50 values in the range of 15.7-3.68 μM.

متن کاملBiofunctional Constituents from Michelia compressa var. lanyuensis with Anti-Melanogenic Properties.
Seven compounds were extracted and purified from the roots of Michelia compressa var. lanyuensis. These compounds are liriodenine, (-)-N-acetylanonaine, pressalanine A, p-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, (-)-bornesitol and β-sitostenone. These compounds were screened for anti-proliferation and anti-tyrosinase activities in B16F10 cells. Liriodenine, pressalanine A, (-)-bornesit...
متن کاملCorrelation Analysis between Indices of Tree Leaf Spectral Reflectance and Chlorophyll Content
This study was conducted to investigate variations of leaf chlorophyll content and surface spectral reflectance of different tree species (Daphniphyllum glaucescens、Michelia formosana、Illicium dunnianum and Machilus kusanoi) across contrasting terrain in the Nanjenshan Reserve of Kenting National Park, Southern Taiwan. The results showed that there were significant differences (P < 0.01) among ...

Muurola-4,10(14)-dien-3-one (1), 10-O-acetyl-15-oxo-alpha-cadinol (2), 15-hydroxy-alpha-cadinol (3), 4alpha-hydroxy-5beta-ethoxy-epi-cubenol (4), and 4alpha-hydroxy-5beta-acetoxy-epi-cubenol (5), five new bicyclic sesquiterpenes, have been isolated from the heartwood of Chamaecyparis obtusa var. formosana along with the known compounds epi-cubenol, T-cadinol, T-muurolol, delta-cadinol, and alph...
متن کاملAntifungal activity of essential oil and its constituents from Calocedrus macrolepis var. formosana Florin leaf against plant pathogenic fungi.
Resistance to conventional fungicides causes the poor disease control of agriculture. Natural products from plants have great potential as novel fungicide sources for controlling pathogenic fungi. In this study antipathogenic activity of the leaf essential oil and its constituents from Calocedrus macrolepis var. formosana Florin were evaluated in vitro against six plant pathogenic fungi. Chemic...
