Three new diterpene esters with a myrsinol-type skeleton have been isolated from Euphorbia decipiens BOISS. & BUHSE. The structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was based primarily on two-dimensional (2D)-NMR techniques including correlation spectroscopy (COSY), heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC), heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) and nuclear Overhauser effect ...

Galium shinasii Yıldırım (Rubiaceae), is described as a new species from Malatya Province in eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The new species is morphologically related to Galium cornigerum Boiss. & Hausskn. Galium lasiocarpum and Galium sorgereae Ehrend. and Schönb. but clearly differs from them based on the morphological differences presented in the species description. In addition, the conservation...

From the aerial parts of the plant Phlomis chimerae, a new neolignan glucoside, (-)-4-O-methyldihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) was characterized along with the known neolignan glucosides, (-)-4-O-methyldehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9'-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (= longifloroside A) (2) and (-)-dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-9-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3). The stru...
