Two new sesquiterpenes, 1β,5α,6α,14-tetraacetoxy-9α-benzoyloxy-7β H-eudesman-2β,11-diol (1) and 4α,5α-diacetoxy-9α-benzoyloxy-7βH-eudesman-1β,2β,11, 14-tetraol (2), were produced as stress metabolites in the cultured mycelia of Pestalotiopsis sp. Z233 isolated from the algae Sargassum horneri in response to abiotic stress elicitation by CuCl2. Their structures were established by spectroscopic ...

Two new 15-hydroxycembranoid diterpenes, 2β-hydroxy-7β,8α-epoxynephthenol (1) and 2β-hydroxy-11α,12β-epoxynephthenol (2), were isolated from extracts of the octocoral Nephthea columnaris along with a new natural cembrane, epoxynephthenol (3) and a known sterol, nephalsterol A (4). The structures of cembranes 1-3 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and comparison of the spectroscopic data w...

We consider two Gaussian measures μ,μ˜ on a separable Hilbert space, with fractional-order covariance operators A−2β and A˜−2β˜, respectively, derive necessary sufficient conditions A,A˜ β,β˜>0 for I. equivalence of the μ μ˜, II. uniform asymptotic optimality linear predictions based misspecified measure μ˜. These results hold, e.g., processes compact metric spaces. As an important special case...

Chromatographic purification of the n-hexane and dichloromethane extracts of Nuxia oppositifolia aerial parts, growing in Saudi Arabia, resulted in the isolation and characterization of three new labdane-type diterpene acids, 2β-acetoxy-labda-7-en-15-oic acid (1), 2β-acetoxy-7-oxolabda-8-en-15-oic acid (2), 2β-acetoxy-6-oxolabda-7-en-15-oic acid (3), and one new seco-triterpene, 3,4-seco olean-...

Good integers introduced in 1997 form an interesting family of integers that has been continuously studied due to their rich number theoretical properties and wide applications. In this paper, we have focused on classes of 2β-good integers, 2β-oddlygood integers, and 2β-evenly-good integers which are generalizations of good integers. Properties of such integers have been given as well as their ...

In this work we report the chain length dependent behavior of the nonamphiphilic supramolecular building blocks based on the host-guest inclusion complexes of alkanes and β-cyclodextrins (β-CD). (1)H NMR, ESI-MS, and SAXS measurements verified that upon increasing the chain length of alkanes, the building blocks for vesicle formation changed from channel type 2alkane@2β-CD via channel type alka...

Transcription factor AP-2 regulates transcription of a number of genes involving mammalian development, differentiation and carcinogenesis. Recent studies have shown that interaction partners can modulate the transcriptional activity of AP-2 over the downstream targets. In this study, we reported the identification of GAS41 as an interaction partner of AP-2beta. We documented the interaction bo...
