Carpotroche brasiliensis is a native Brazilian tree belonging to the Oncobeae tribe of Flacourtiaceae. The oil extracted from its seeds contains as major constituents the same cyclopentenyl fatty acids hydnocarpic (40.5%), chaulmoogric (14.0%) and gorlic (16.1%) acids found in the better known
Two new phenolic glycosides 1 and 2 were isolated from the barks of Hydnocarpus annamensis, along with eighteen known compounds. The structures of all compounds were deduced using spectroscopic methods. Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation activities were evaluated. Among the isolates, compounds 1,
Flavonolignans isolated from Hydnocarpus wightiana seeds, namely hydnowightin, hydnocarpin, and neohydnocarpin, demonstrated potent hypolipidemic activity in mice, lowering both serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels at 8 mg/kg/day ip. Hydnowightin demonstrated the best lipid-lowering effect of
A new flavonolignan, anthelminthicol A (1), together with four known compounds, was isolated from the EtOAc extracts of the seeds of Hydnocarpus anthelminthica. Their structures were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic techniques. Bioassay showed that compounds 3-5 could inhibit nitric oxide
A roentgenographic examination was made for the limbs of leprosy patients with calcinosis in whom atrophic cutaneous sclerosis and subcutaneous induration or infiltration were observed. The observation results are summarized as follows. 1. Atrophic cutaneous sclerosis was one of a sequela in
