Nitrogen-Containing Dimeric nor-Multiflorane Triterpene from a Turraea sp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new triterpene turranoic acid (1) and the new N-containing nor-triterpene turraenine (2), along with triptocallic acid B (3) and esculentoic acid (4) were isolated from leaves of a Turraea sp. Compounds 1-3 showed weak to moderate in vitro antiplasmodial activity against the chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum strain FCM29. Compound 1 also displayed weak cytotoxic activity against the nonsmall lung cancer cell line H522-T1 with an IC50 value of 16.4 μM.

Three new multiflorane-type triterpene esters, i.e. 7α-hydroxymultiflor-8-ene-3α,29-diol 3-acetate-29-benzoate (1), 7α-methoxymultiflor-8-ene-3α,29-diol 3,29-dibenzoate (2), and 7β-methoxymultiflor-8-ene-3α,29-diol 3,29-dibenzoate (3), were isolated from seeds of Cucurbita maxima, along with the known compound, multiflora-7,9(11)-diene-3α,29-diol 3,29-dibenzoate (4). Compound 1 exhibited melano...
متن کاملIsolation and Partial Characterization of a Bacterial Thermostable Polymethyl Galacturonase from a Newly Isolated Bacillus sp. strain BR1390
Background: Pectinases are pectin degrading class of enzymes including polygalacturonase (PG), polymethyl galacturonase (PMG), pectate lyase (PEL), and pectin esterase (PE) that are commonly used in processes involving the degradation of plant materials, such as speeding up the extraction of fruit juices. Objectives: A highly methylated pectin degrading bacterium from soil covered with fruit wa...
متن کاملResponse of surface optimization for the enhanced production of alkaline protease isolated from Bacillus sp. with bean husk as a new substrate
Optimization of the fermentation medium for maximum alkaline protease production was carried out. Fifteen positive isolates were examined for their extent of alkaline protease production. The most potent producer was identified as Bacillus sp. The solid substrate screening showed that the combination of wheat straw and bean husk was the best one. The initial screening by using Plackett–Burman’s...
متن کاملEffects of various forms of surfactant protein C on tidal volume in ventilated immature newborn rabbits.
Surfactant protein (SP)-C is characterized by alpha-helix structure and palmitoyl groups attached to two cysteine residues. We examined the function of palmitoylation and dimerization in promotion of tidal volume in immature newborn rabbits. Reconstituted surfactants were made from a mixture of synthetic phospholipids and porcine SP-B (basic mixture) by adding various forms of SP-Cs: normal SP-...
