چکیده
A phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Adonis multiflora Nishikawa & Koki Ito. resulted in the isolation and identification of two new cardenolides--adonioside A (1) and adonioside B (6)--as well as four known cardenolides: tupichinolide (2) oleandrine (3), cryptostigmin II (4), and cymarin (5). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR, MS, and IR spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1, 2, 5, and 6 showed significant cytotoxicity against six human cancer cell lines (HCT-116, HepG2, HeLa, SK-OV-3, and SK-MEL-5, and SK-BR-3).

New cardenolides from the seeds of Adonis aestivalis.
Chemical investigation of the seeds of Adonis aestivalis has led to the isolation of a new cardenolide (3β,5α,14β,17β-tetrahydroxycard-20,22-enolide) (1), two new glycosides (2, 3) of 1, and a new strophanthidin hexaglycoside (4), together with a known compound, strophanthidin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5). The structures of 1-4 were determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic analysis and the res...

Previously, the presence of a wide variety of chemically diverse steroids has been identified in both flora and fauna. Despite the relatively small differences in chemical structures and large differences in physiological function of steroids, new discoveries indicate that plants and animals are more closely related than previously thought. In this regard, the present study gathers supporting e...

Zataria multiflora is one of the valuable medicinal plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family. The aromatic aerial parts of this species are traditionally used by endemic folks to flavor some native foods, also for numerous therapeutic functions. In the present study, different plant organs (leaf, flower, stalk and whole aerial organ) were collected from Fanuj region of Sistan & Balouchestan pro...
متن کاملThe AaDREB1 Transcription Factor from the Cold-Tolerant Plant Adonis amurensis Enhances Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Transgenic Plant.
Dehydration-responsive element binding (DREB) transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in the regulation of plant resistance to environmental stresses and can specifically bind to dehydration-responsive element/C-repeat element (DRE/CRT) proteins (G/ACCGAC) and activate expression of many stress-inducible genes. Here, we cloned and characterized a novel gene (AaDREB1) encoding the DREB1...
متن کاملMacroevolutionary Trends in the Defense of Milkweeds against Monarchs Latex, Cardenolides, and Tolerance of Herbivory
Theory predicts that plants will increase their defenses against herbivores over time; however, several milkweed defenses have declined as the genus Asclepias has diversified. We review the evolutionary history of milkweed defense and provide new findings from an experiment on 53 Asclepias species. As predicted, monarch performance increased on more recently evolved species, and latex was prima...
