Three new trinor-cycloartane glycosides, 15alpha-hydroxy-16-dehydroxy-16(24)-en-foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (1), 28-hydroxy-foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (2) and foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1"-->3')-beta-D-xylopyranoside (3) together with the known compound foetidinol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranoside (4) were isolated from the n-BuOH fraction of the roots of Cimicifuga foetida...

Phytochemical investigation of the branches of Annona foetida Mart. led to isolation from the CH(2)Cl(2) extract of four alkaloids: Atherospermidine (1), described for the first time in this species, liriodenine (2), O-methylmoschatoline (3), and annomontine (4). Their chemical structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic data from IR, MS, NMR (1D and 2D), and comparison with the l...

The Linnaean name Crepis foetida is lectotypified with an illustration from the third volume of Morison's Plantarum historiae universalis Oxoniensis. While designated lectotype can be identified C. s.l., it cannot ascribed certainty to any currently accepted subspecies this taxon and therefore considered demonstrably ambiguous.

Earthworms possess antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, and hemolytic properties. To recognize the molecules responsible for various biological activities of earthworm’s coelomic fluid, a detailed knowledge about its protein contents is required. The aim of this study was to characterize the proteins present within the coelomic fluid of Eisenia foetida earthworm. Polyacrylamide-gel-elec...
