Three new acylated triterpene saponins 1-3, with a quillaic acid as aglycon, were isolated from the roots of Silene fortunei together with a known phytoecdysteroid (20-hydroxyecdysone). The compounds were characterized mainly by a combination of 2D NMR techniques, mass spectrometry, and chemical
The chemical investigation of Cucubalus baccifer L. afforded three new norsesquiterpenoids, cucubalol, cucubalactone and drummondol-11-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside together with two known related compounds, drummondol and 5,7[E]-megastigmadiene-3 beta,4 alpha,9 xi-triol. Their structures were
Natural products are becoming increasingly important in chemoprevention and for cancer therapy. Silene viscidula (S. viscidula), a traditional Chinese herb, has long been used as an anti-inflammatory and neuroleptic agent. However, the anticancer activity of S. viscidula has remained unclear. In
Silene species are known for their use in traditional medicine in treating several diseases. To the authors' knowledge there is no report on the chemical composition of S. odontopetala. Therefore, the phytochemical investigation of the methanol extract of S. odontopetala was carried out, leading to
A new steroidal glycoside, 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-3β,25-dihydroxy-5β-cholest-7-en-6-one 25-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), together with six known steroidal derivatives (2-7), one cerebroside (8) and one flavonoid (9) were isolated from Silene montbretiana Boiss (Caryophyllaceae), a perennial herb
