A phytochemical study of the bark of Alseodaphne perakensis has yielded three aporphine alkaloids: the new compound N-cyanomethylnorboldine (1), and the two known alkaloids N-methyllaurotetanine (2) and norboldine (3). The isolation was achieved by chromatographic techniques and the structural elucidation was performed via spectral methods, notably 1D- and 2D-NMR, UV, IR, and HRFABMS. The vasor...

A new alkaloid (1) and two known compounds (2 and 3) were isolated from the blue-greenalga Arthrospira platensis. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data.According to the obtained data and values in the literature, the compounds were concluded to beeckol.

garciniavalline (1), a novel aporphinoid alkaloid, in addition to four known alkaloids,cleistopholine (2), o-methylmoschatoline (3), (-)-oliveroline (4) and (-)-oliveridine (5), wereisolated and characterized from garcinia parvifolia miq. stem bark. structural elucidation ofthese compounds was established by spectroscopic methods. among them, alkaloids (2) and (4)exhibited antiplasmodial activi...

Isolation and structural elucidation of prune constituents were performed and total 10 compounds were determined by NMR and MS analyses. A novel compound was identified to be 2-(5-hydroxymethyl-2',5'-dioxo-2',3',4',5'-tetrahydro-1'H-1,3'-bipyrrole)carbaldehyde, and 7 phenolic compounds were isolated from prunes for the first time. In addition, antioxidant activity of them was evaluated on the b...

Ascidians of the genus Aplidium are recognized as an important source of chemical diversity and bioactive natural products. Among the compounds produced by this genus are non-nitrogenous metabolites, mainly prenylated quinones and hydroquinones. This review discusses the isolation, structural elucidation, and biological activities of quinones, hydroquinones, rossinones, longithorones, longithor...
