The phytochemical study of flowering shoots of Caragana bungei Ledeb., Fabaceae, collected in Tuva Republic (Russian Federation) resulted in the isolation of sixteen compounds identified as β-sitosterol, β-sitosterol-3-Oglucoside, umbelliferone, kaempferol, quercetin, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside, isoquercitrin, rutin, narcissin, nicotiflorin, caffeic acid, 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-O-caffeoylqu...

Acetone extract of aerial parts of Euphorbia marschalliana collected from Iran has been subjected to different chromatography techniques for fractionation and purification. The stereo-structures of the myrsinol esters 15-O-acetyl-3-O-propionyl-5-O-butanoyl-7-O-nicotinoylmyrsinol (1) and 15-O-acetyl-3,5-O-dibutanoyl-7-O-nicotinoylmyrsinol (2) have been probed using ROESY spectroscopy and modifie...

A new clerodane diterpene derivative named crotonoligaketone was obtained from the stem bark of Croton oligandrum along with eight known compounds including crotonadiol, imbricatadiol, crotonzambefuran B, 7-acetoxytrachiloban-18-oic acid, 3-O-acetylaleuritolic acid, lupeol, beta-sitosterol, and stigmasterol. The structures of the isolated compounds were established on the basis of their spectra...

A phytochemical study of an ethanol-soluble extract from the root barks of Daphne tangutica Maxim., a traditional Tibetan herb medicine, led to the isolation of 30 compounds, including eight daphnane diterpenes, nine coumarines, six lignans, five phenylpropanoid derivatives, beta-sitosterol and p-hydroxy benzonate. Two compounds out of these isolates are new daphne diterpene analogs, and their ...
