beta agarofuran/ハリツルマサキ属

A series of dihydro-beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenes isolated from the leaves of Maytenus cuzcoina (1-10) or semisynthetic derivatives (11-30) have been tested on a multidrug-resistant Leishmania tropica line overexpressing a P-glycoprotein-like transporter to determine their ability to revert the

Chemoprevention of human cancer appears to be a feasible strategy for cancer control, especially when chemopreventive intervention is involved during early stages of the carcinogenesis process. As a part of our ongoing research program into new chemopreventive agents, herein are reported the

The natural compound (1S,4S,5S,6R,7R,8R,9R,10S)-6-acetoxy-4,9,10-trihydroxy-2,2,5a,9-tetramethyloctahydro-2H-3,9a-methanobenzo[b]oxepin-5-yl furan-3-carboxylate, C22H30O9, (I), is a β-agarofuran sesquiterpene isolated from the seeds of Maytenus boaria as part of a study of the secondary metabolites

As part of a project studying the secondary metabolites extracted from the Chilean flora, we report herein three new β-agarofuran sesquiterpenes, namely (1S,4S,5S,6R,7R,8R,9R,10S)-6-acetoxy-4,9-dihydroxy-2,2,5a,9-tetramethyloctahydro-2H-3,9a-methanobenzo[b]oxepine-5,10-diyl bis(furan-3-carboxylate),

Inhibition of tumour promotion in multistage chemical carcinogenesis is considered a promising strategy for cancer chemoprevention. In an ongoing investigation of bioactive secondary metabolites from Celastraceae species, five new dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpenes (1-5), named Chiapens A-E, and

Sixteen (1-16) dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpenes were isolated from the fruits of Maytenus jelskii and evaluated against mammalian cells with a multidrug resistance phenotype mediated by the overexpression of the human P-glycoprotein. Their stereostructures have been elucidated on the basis of

Phytochemical studies of the roots of the Australian plant, Maytenus bilocularis, resulted in the identification of six previously undescribed dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpenoids, bilocularins D-I, along with three known natural products, namely

Nine new β-dihydroagarofurans (1-9) and four new sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids (10-13) were isolated from the leaves of Maytenus spinosa. Their structures were determined mainly by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic studies. The absolute configuration of compound 6 was established using CD

Chemical investigations of the CH2Cl2 extract obtained from the leaves of the Australian rainforest tree Maytenus bilocularis afforded three new dihydro-β-agarofurans, bilocularins A-C (1-3), and six known congeners, namely, celastrine A (4), 1α,6β,8α-triacetoxy-9α-benzoyloxydihydro-β-agarofuran

Parasite resistance to drugs has emerged as a major problem in current medicine, and therefore, there is great clinical interest in developing compounds that overcome these resistances. In an intensive study of South American medicinal plants, herein we report the isolation, structure elucidation,

The effects produced by nine dihydro-beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenes isolated from Crossopetalum tonduzii (1-8) and Maytenus macrocarpa (9) (Celastraceae) on the reversion of the resistant phenotype on a multidrug-resistant Leishmania line and their binding to recombinant C-terminal

Four new minor dihydro-beta-agarofuran-skeleton sesquiterpenes, 9 beta-benzoyloxy-1 alpha,2 alpha,6 beta-triacetoxy-15-hydroxydihydro-beta- agarofuran [1], 9 beta-benzoyloxy-1 alpha,2 alpha,6 beta,15-tetracetoxydihydro-beta-agarofuran [6], 9 alpha-benzoyloxy-1 alpha,2 alpha,6 beta-triacetoxy- 8

Five new dihydro-beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenes (1-5) were isolated from the leaves of Maytenus chiapensis. The structures of 1-5 were determined by means of 1D and 2D NMR techniques. A semiselective HMBC technique was applied in order to obtain complete (13)C NMR assignments. Absolute

From the aerial parts of Maytenus disticha, we have isolated 9beta-benzoyloxy-1alpha,2alpha,6beta,8alpha,15penta-acetoxy-dihydro-beta-agarofuran (1) and from seeds of Maytenus boaria 9beta-furoyloxy-1alpha,6beta,8alpha-triacetoxy-dihydro-beta-agarofuran (2). These compounds and their MeOH and

Seven new (1-4 and 7-9) sesquiterpenes with a dihydro-beta-agarofuran skeleton, along with four known compounds (5, 6, 10, and 11), have been isolated from the leaves of Maytenus jelskii. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by means of spectroscopic data analysis, including 1D and 2D
