Two new antiinflammatory elemanolides from Centaurea chilensis.

چکیده
Two previously undescribed elemanolide esters, the 2-methylpropanoate and 2-methyl-2-propenoate of 11,13-dehydromelitensin, were isolated in the course of a bioassay-guided fractionation from the aerial parts of Centaurea chilensis Hook. et Arn., used traditionally to treat 'gout and rheumatism'. The mixture of both substances exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced paw edema assay.

متن کاملEscherbothrium molinae n. gen. et n. sp. (Eucestoda: Tetraphyllidea: Triloculariidae) in Urotrygon chilensis (Chondrichthyes: Myliobatiformes: Urolophidae) from the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica.
Cestodes collected in spiral valves of the stingray Urotrygon chilensis from the Pacific coast of Costa Rica represent an undescribed species of Tetraphyllidea. By possessing more than 2 loculi as well as an apical sucker on each bothridium, the new species is diagnosably distinct from all other tetraphyllidean genera; therefore, a new genus is proposed for it. The new species also possesses gl...
متن کاملLocal Host Adaptation and Use of a Novel Host in the Seed Beetle Megacerus eulophus
Spatial variation in host plant availability may lead to specialization in host use and local host adaptation in herbivorous insects, which may involve a cost in performance on other hosts. We studied two geographically separated populations of the seed beetle Megacerus eulophus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) in central Chile: a population from the host Convolvulus chilensis (in Aucó) and a population...
