Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Neolignans from Magnolia officinalisWiley - Tập 1 Số 3 - Trang 530-537 - 2004
Wan‐Jr Syu, Chien‐Chang Shen, Jang‐Jih Lu, Gum‐Hee Lee, Changming Sun
AbstractIn the light of the steady increase of infections related to
vancomycin‐resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA), the medicinal plant Magnolia officinalis was subjected to
bioassay‐directed fractionation, which led to the isolation of the known
neolignans piperitylmagnolol (1), magnolol (2), and honokiol (3) from the MeOH
extract. In broth‐microdil... hiện toàn bộ
Limonoids with an Oxygen Bridge between C(1) and C(29) from the Seeds of a Krishna Mangrove, Xylocarpus granatumWiley - Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 262-275 - 2014
Min‐Yi Li, Qiang Xiao, Tirumani Satyanandamurty, Jun Wu
AbstractTen limonoids, named granatumins L–U (1–10, resp.), were isolated from
the seeds of an Indian mangrove, Xylocarpus granatum, collected in the estuary
of Krishna, Andhra Pradesh. The structures of these compounds were established
on the basis of spectroscopic data. The relative configuration of granatumin L
(1) was confirmed by a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Granatumins

AbstractThe aqueous extract of Peltophorum pterocarpum (Fabaceae) wood exhibited
potent inhibitory effects against EpsteinBarr virus early antigen (EBV‐EA)
activation induced with 12‐O‐tetradecanoylphorbol‐13‐acetate (TPA) in Raji cells
and against melanogenesis in α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (α‐MSH)‐stimulated
B16 melanoma cells, as well as potent 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free

New Limonoids from the Seeds of a Krishna Mangrove, Xylocarpus granatumWiley - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 612-620 - 2013
Hongliang Chen, Jing Zhang, Min‐Yi Li, Tirumani Satyanandamurty, Jun Wu
AbstractTwo new mexicanolides, named granatumins H and I (1 and 2, resp.), and
two phragmalins, named granatumins J and K (3 and 4, resp.), were isolated from
the seeds of an Indian mangrove, Xylocarpus moluccensis, collected from the
swamps of Krishna estuary, Andhra Pradesh. The structures of these limonoids
were established on the basis of spectroscopic data. Granatumin J (3) is a

Production of the Inaccessible Sesquiterpene (−)‐5‐Epieremophilene by Metabolically Engineered Escherichia coliWiley - Tập 17 Số 7 - 2020
Liu‐Qiong Luo, Yue‐Gui Chen, Desen Li, Yan Liu, Sheng‐Hong Li
Abstract(−)‐5‐Epieremophilene, an epimer of the versatile sesquiterpene
(+)‐valencene, is an inaccessible natural product catalyzed by three
sesquiterpene synthases (SmSTPSs1‐3) of the Chinese medicinal herb Salvia
miltiorrhiza, and its biological activity remains less explored. In this study,
three metabolically engineered Escherichia coli strains were constructed for
(−)‐5‐epieremophilene produc... hiện toàn bộ
Garcimultiflorone G, a Novel Benzoylphloroglucinol Derivative from Garcinia multiflora with Inhibitory Activity on Neutrophil Pro‐Inflammatory ResponsesWiley - Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 819-824 - 2014
Chia‐Wei Ting, Tsong‐Long Hwang, Yu‐Chang Chen, Ming‐Jen Cheng, Ping‐Jyun Sung, Ming‐Hong Yen, Jih‐Jung Chen
AbstractA novel benzoylphloroglucinol derivative, garcimultiflorone G (1), was
isolated from the fruits of Garcinia multiflora. The structure of 1 was
determined through extensive 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR, and MS analyses. Garcimultiflorone
G (1) showed inhibitory effects against superoxide anion (O$\rm{{_{2}^{{^\cdot}

AbstractThe schistosomicidal effects of pimaradienoic acid (PA) and two
derivatives, obtained by fungal transformation in the presence of Aspergillus
ochraceus, were investigated. PA was the only compound with antischistosomal
activity among the three diterpenes studied, with the ability to significantly
reduce the viability of the parasites at concentrations ranging from 25 to
100 μM. PA also pro... hiện toàn bộ
