In the present study the antibacterial activity of extracts and pure constituents of V. odorata was evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and clinical isolate of MDR-TB (M. avium, ATCC 25291). Crude ethanol extract of the plant was fractionated with different solvents to yield respective extracts. The n-hexane and Dichloromethane fractions showing good activity against both strains...

Squamanita odorata is an agaric which is parasitic on unrecognizable, previously unidentifiable sporophores of a fungal host that is transformed into galls at the bases of the parasite's sporophore. Amplification and sequencing portions of the nuclear (ITS) and mt rDNA from three samplings originating from two sites (from France and from Switzerland) demonstrate that the galls produce sequences...

The title compound, known as odorine or roxburghiline {systematic name: (S)-N-[(R)-1-cinnamoylpyrrolidin-2-yl]-2-methyl-butanamide}, C(18)H(24)N(2)O(2), is a nitro-genous compound isolated from the leaves of Aglaia odorata. The absolute configuration was determined by refinement of the Flack parameter with data collected using Cu Kα radiation showing positions 2 and 2' to be S and R, respective...
