rocaglaol/aglaia odorata

In the course of screening for Ras function inhibitors, rocaglaol (1) and the related compounds, the known pyrimidinone (2) and the novel aglaiastatin (3), were isolated from a CHCI3 extract of the leaves of Aglaia odorata. The structure of 3 was elucidated as a novel cyclopentabenzofuran on the

Twelve compounds were isolated from the roots of Aglaia odorata. Their structures were established on the basis of NMR and MS data as rocaglaol (1), rocaglamide (2), eichlerialactone (3), sapelins A (4), isofouquierone (5), eichlerianic acid (6), shoreic acid (7), agladupol E (8), 3-epimeliantriol

Aglaia odorata Lour. (Meliaceae) was found to have very strong allelopathic activity and a bioherbicide PORGANIC(™) was developed from its leaf extracts. However, the phytotoxic substances causing the strong allelopathic activity of the plants have not yet been determined. Therefore, we investigated

Eight flavaglines, six cyclopenta[b]benzofurans, a cyclopenta[bc]benzopyran, and a benzo[b]oxepine, together with an aromatic butyrolactone were isolated from Aglaia odorata, A. elaeagnoidea, and A. edulis (Meliaceae) and tested against the three plant pathogens Pyricularia grisea, Fusarium
