Phytochemical investigation on the stems of Kadsura renchangiana led to the isolation of two new sesquiterpenoids, renchangianins F and G (1 and 2). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR techniques. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of the isolates were studied
A phytochemical study of Kadsura heteroclita led to the isolation of eight triterpenoids, including two new compounds, named kadheterilactone A (1) and kadheterilactone B (2), as well as six known compounds, longipedlactone H (3), longipedlactone A (4), longipedlactone F (5), kadsuranic acid A (6),
One new schiartane-type triterpene, heteroclitalactone N (1), and four known compounds (2-5), seco-coccinic acid F, dihydroguaiaretic acid, schizanrin F, and kadsuralignan B were isolated from the stems of Kadsura heteroclita. Their structures were determined by the combination of spectroscopic and
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kadsura heteroclita stem (KHS) is a well-known hepatoprotective Tujia ethnomedicine (folk named Xuetong), has long been used for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis and liver diseases.
Three new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignans, kadusurain A-C (1-3), together with two known compounds kadsuphilin A (4) and B (5), were isolated from an EtOAc fraction of the 80 % acetone extract of Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) A. C. Smith. Their structures were established by 1D and 2D NMR techniques, and
Kadsura heteroclita Roxb. Craib. (Schisandraceae), is a vine plant mainly distributed in southwest part of China. A new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan, kadsulignan W (1), along with eleven known lignans (2-12) were isolated from chloroform soluble fraction of stems of Kadsura
[structure: see text] Two novel triterpene dilactones with an unprecedented rearranged hexacyclic skeleton, kadlongilactones A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from the leaves and stems of Kadsura longipedunculata Finet et Gagnep (Schisandraceae). Their structures were established by comprehensive
[structures: see text] Three novel C19 homolignans, designated taiwankadsurins A (1), B (2), and C (3), were isolated from the aerial parts of Taiwanese medicinal plant Kadsura philippinensis. The structures of 1-3, which have a
Xuetonglactones A-F (1-6), six unreported highly oxidized lanostane- and cycloartane-type triterpenoids along with 22 known scaffolds (7-28) were isolated from the stems of Kadsura heteroclita (Roxb.) Craib. Compared with previous congeners, xuetonglactone A
Five 3,4-seco-cycloartane triterpenoids were isolated from the stems of Kadsura ananosma, two of which had rearranged 5/6 consecutive carbocycle rings C/D (trivially named ananosins A (1) and B (2)), one had a migrated CH3-18 (named ananosins C (3)), and two were analogs, ananosins D (4) and E (5).
Heilaohu, the roots of Kadsura coccinea, has a long history of use in Tujia ethnomedicine for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and gastroenteric disorders, and a lot of work has been done in order to know the material basis of its pharmacological activities. The chemical investigation led to
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune diseased state, characterized by hyperplasia of the synovial membrane, degradation of cartilage, and bone erosion of diarthrodial joints. Kadsura heteroclita (Roxb) Craib (Schizandraceae), a traditional Tujia ethnomedicine called Xue Fourteen new rearranged 6/6/5/6-fused triterpenoid acids, namely, kadcoccine acids A-N (1-14), were isolated from an EtOAc-soluble extract of the stems of Kadsura coccinea. Their structures were characterized mainly by analyzing 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS data and were shown to feature a rare
Phytochemical investigations of the stem of Kadsura heteroclita (Roxb) Craib (Schizandraceae) resulted in the isolation and structure elucidation of six new triterpenoidal compounds named heteroclitalactones A-E (1-5) as well as heteroclic acid (6) and heteroclitalactone F (7), which was isolated
