two flavones, ladanein and 6-hydroxy-5,7,4′-trimethoxyflavone and one labdane-typediterpene, ent-13-epi-manoyloxide, were isolated from an ethyl acetate-methanol extract ofthe aerial parts of salvia sharifii. the compounds were purified using several chromatographicmethods. structural elucidation of the compounds was performed using their 1h and 13c-nmrdata, ei mass and uv spectral data. the co...

The pungent principle of myoga (Zingiber mioga Roscoe) was identified as (E)-8beta(17)-epoxylabd-12-ene-15,16-dial (miogadial) on the basis of its physical and spectroscopic properties (MS, NMR, IR, and UV). Galanal A and B, isolated as well as miogadial, had no hot taste. Reduced miogadial also was tasteless. The pungency of miogadial depended on the presence of alphabeta-unsaturated-1,4-diald...

A partir das raízes de Jatropha weddelliana foram isolados os diterpenóides jatrogrossidiona, 4Z-jatrogrossidentadiona, 15-epi-4Z-jatrogrossidentadiona, 4E-jatrogrossidentadiona,15-epi-4Ejatrogrossidentadiona, 2-hidroxiisojatrogrossidiona, 2-epi-hidroxiisojatrogrossidiona e jatrowediol. A elucidação da estrutura do jatrowediol, um novo diterpenóide latirânico, foi realizada por meio de análises...

Mono- and diterpenoids are of great industrial and medical value as specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Production of these compounds in microbial hosts, such as Escherichia coli, can be limited by intracellular levels of the polyprenyl diphosphate precursors, geranyl diphosphate (GPP), and geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP). To alleviate this limitation, we constructed synthetic operons th...

The first electrophilic α-amination reaction of labdane-type diterpene (−)-(5S,9S,10S,13S)-labd-7-en-15-oic acid and (+)-(5S,8R,9R,10S,13R)-8-hydroxylabdan-15-oic acid, isolated from aerial parts Ageratina jocotepecana is presented. In the presence dibenzylazodicarboxylate proline followed by an in situ reduction, corresponding hydrazino alcohols were obtained. It demonstrated that moiety had n...
