Plant Based Natural Products (PBNPs) have been subject of interest since ancient time due to their use in food, industrial and biomedical applications. Research attention has further augmented explore phytochemical composition, properties, potential application the post-COVID era. In present study screening carried out with Methanolic Leaf Extracts Moringa oleifera (MLEMO) followed by Gas Chrom...

A pterocarpan, 1,9-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-methylpterocarpan (named uncinacarpan) and two isoflavanones, 5,7-dihydroxy-2',3',4'-trimethoxy-6-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)isoflavanone (named uncinanone D) and 5,4'-dihydroxy-7,2'-dimethoxy-6-methylisoflavanone (named uncinanone E), were isolated from the CH(2)Cl(2) root extract of Desmodium uncinatum (Jacq.) DC and characterised by spectroscopic methods. In...

Three new sesquiterpene glycosides, possessing a rare aglycone with a sulfonyl between C-1 and C-15 positions, named 3-(3'E-7'R,8'-dihydroxy-4',8'-dimethyl-3'-nonenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1,1-dioxo-thiophen 7'-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), 3-(3'E-7'R,8'-dihydroxy-4',8'-dimethyl-3'-nonenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1,1-dioxo-thiophen 7'-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-...

Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (APR), a widely used traditional Chinese medicine, is reported to have central nervous system activities. The purpose of this study was to characterize the blood-brain barrier permeability of twelve coumarins from APR including umbelliferone (1), osthol (2), scopoletin (3), peucedanol (4), ulopterol (5), angepubebisin (6), psoralen (7), xanthotoxin (8), bergapten (9)...

A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) procedure is reported for the quantitation of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives of substituted 2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-ones (2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one[HBOA]; 2-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one[HMBOA];2,4- dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one[DIBOA]; 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one[DIMBOA]; and 2,4-dihy...

New N-(benzyl carbamothioyl)-2-hydroxy substituted benzamides 13, 20, and 21 were synthesized using sodium bicarbonate and benzyl amine with 2-thioxo-substituted-1,3-benzoxazines 6, 10a, b, 11c, and 12a-n. The 2-thioxo-substituted-1,3-oxazines 6, 10a-b, 11d 12a-n, and 26 were converted to the corresponding 2-methylthio-substituted-1,3-oxazines 14a-l and 24 which were then converted to 2-benzyl ...

indandione 1 was brominated to yield 2-bromoindandione 2 which on further reacted with substituted thiocarbamides, carbamides, 2-aminothiophenols, 2-aminophenol and triazoles to furnished 3-substituted aniline-2-thia-4-aza-6,7-benzo-8-oxo-bicyclo [3.3.0]-1(5),3-octadiene 3, 3-substituted aniline-2-oxa-4-aza-6,7-benzo-8-oxo-bicyclo [3.3.0]-1(5),3-octadiene 4, 2-thia-5-aza-9-oxo-3,4-(3’-substitut...

Phytochemical investigation of the rhizomes of Iris kashmiriana (Iridaceae) led to the isolation of three isoflavones characterized by 1D and 2D NMR, IR, UV, and MS as 4'-hydroxy-8-methoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyisoflavone (isonigricin, 1), 5,6-dihydroxy-4',7-dimethoxyisoflavone (isoirisolidone, 2), and 5,7-dihydroxy-4',6-dimethoxyisoflavone (irisolidone, 3). Compound 1 is a new isoflavone, while 2 ...

Feeding experiments with ent-kaurenoic acid (4), 15 alpha-hydroxy-ent-kaurenoic acid (5), 15 beta-hydroxy-ent-kaurenoic acid (6), and mixtures of 4 plus 5 and 4 plus 6 were conducted using the SG138 mutant of Gibberella fujikuroi, to gain information about the phenotype of this unique strain. The biotransformation of 5 gave 7 beta,15 alpha-dihydroxykaurenolide (9) and 7 beta,15 alpha-dihydroxy-...
