A new and 25 known taxane diterpenoids were isolated from the dried whole plants of Taxus wallichiana var. mairei cultivated in the southern area of the Yangtze River in China. The chemical structure of new compound 1, named taxiwallinine, was established by means of MS and NMR analyses. Among the
Two new taxoids, taxumairols A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from extracts of the roots of Formosan Taxus mairei (Lemee & Levl.) S. Y. Hu. The structures of 1 and 2 were identified as 5 alpha, 7 beta, 9 alpha, 10 beta, 13 alpha-pentaacetoxy-20-(benzoyloxy)- 2 alpha, 4 alpha-dihydroxytax-11-ene
Three new 11(15-->1)-abeo-taxanes, taxumairols U-W (1-3), have been isolated from extracts of the stem bark of Formosan Taxus mairei. The structures of 1-3 were identified as 5alpha,7beta,9alpha,13alpha,20-pentaacetoxy-2alpha,10beta,15-trihydroxy-11(15-->1)-abeo-taxene,
The diterpenoid taxol is an important anticancer agent used widely in the clinic. The purpose of this work was to identify a taxol-producing endophytic fungus (strain TF5) isolated from Taxus mairei and study its anticancer activities. Strain TF5 was identified as a Tubercularia sp. according to the
Fifteen taxanes (1-15) including a new taxane glucoside, 7β,9α,10β-triacetoxy-13α-hydroxy-5α-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)taxa-4(20),11-diene (1), were isolated from the barks of Taxus wallichiana var. mairei. Compounds 1-15 representing three sub-types of 6/8/6-taxane were evaluated in vitro for
Taxus species are well-known for paclitaxel, which exhibits antitumor activities and is used for treating various cancers. Although most Taxus species are widespread in many areas, few studies have characterized the variation in metabolism among different Taxus species. Using an integrated approach
BACKGROUND
Illumina second generation sequencing is now an efficient route for generating enormous sequence collections that represent expressed genes and quantitate expression level. Taxus is a world-wide endangered gymnosperm genus and forms an important anti-cancer medicinal resource, but the
BACKGROUND
Three species of yews Taxus contorta Griff., Taxus mairei (Lemée & Lév.) S.Y. Hu ex T.S. Liu and Taxus wallichiana Zucc. distributed in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region have been commercially exploited in recent decades to extract an anticancer chemotherapeutic drug 'Taxol'.
