An Iridoid Glucoside and the Related Aglycones from Cornus florida
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new iridoid glucoside, cornusoside A (1), and four new natural product iridoid aglycones, cornolactones A-D (2-5), together with 10 known compounds were isolated from the leaves of Cornus florida. The structures of compounds 1-5 were established by interpretation of their spectroscopic data. Cornolactone B (3) is the first natural cis-fused tricyclic dilactone iridoid containing both a five- and a six-membered lactone ring. A biosynthesis pathway is proposed for cornolactones C (4) and D (5), the C-6 epimers of compounds 1-3.

Four new iridoid glucosides containing the furan ring from the fruit of Cornus officinalis.
Four new and rare iridoid glucosides, cornusfuroside A-D (1-4), containing the furan ring were identified from water extract of the fruit of Cornus officinalis. These new chemical structures were determined through extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR, IR, HRESIMS, experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD). Notably, this study is the first report on th...
متن کاملApplication of Cornelian Cherry Iridoid-Polyphenolic Fraction and Loganic Acid to Reduce Intraocular Pressure
One of the most common diseases of old age in modern societies is glaucoma. It is strongly connected with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and could permanently damage vision in the affected eye. As there are only a limited number of chemical compounds that can decrease IOP as well as blood flow in eye vessels, the up-to-date investigation of new molecules is important. The chemical composi...
متن کاملAntifeedant activity of citrus limonoids against Colorado potato beetle: comparison of aglycones and glucosides
The importance of plant allelochemicals in plantherbivore interactions is well known. Although some of these phytochemicals act as phagostimulants for specific herbivores, the majority of allelochemicals examined appear to function primarily in plant defense, acting as insect antifeedants, growth regulators, and/or toxins (Jermy, 1966; Bernays & Chapman, 1977). As such, these chemicals have gre...
متن کاملChlorine-containing iridoid and iridoid glucoside, and other glucosides from leaves of Myoporum bontioides.
Sixteen compounds were isolated from the MeOH extract of leaves of Myoporum bontioides. The five compounds hitherto unknown, were elucidated to be a chlorine-containing iridoid, named myopochlorin, and an iridoid glucoside, an acylated iridoid glucoside, a linear acetogenin glucoside, and an acyclic monoterpene glucoside, named myobontiosides A-D, respectively, by means of spectroscopic analyses.
متن کاملβ-Glucosidase Catalyzing Specific Hydrolysis of an Iridoid β-Glucoside from Plumeria obtusa
An iridoid β-glucoside, namely plumieride coumarate glucoside, was isolated from the Plumeria obtusa (white frangipani) flower. A β-glucosidase, purified to homogeneity from P. obtusa, could hydrolyze plumieride coumarate glucoside to its corresponding 13-O-coumarylplumieride. Plumeria β-glucosidase is a monomeric glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 60.6 kDa and an isoelectric point of 4.90...
