A detailed phytochemical investigation of a dichloromethane extract of the resinous exudates of the cushion bush plant (Leucophyta brownii) resulted in the isolation of the new 8,12-guaianolides leucophytalins A (5) and B (6), the new 1,10-seco-eudesmane leucophytalin C (10), six rare
Four guaianolide type sesquiterpene lactones (SL), namely the new 1,2-dihydro-3-oxo-costic acid guaianyl ester 3beta-O-(1,2-didehydro-3-oxo-costoyloxy)-4beta,10beta-dihydroxy-guaia-1(2)-en-6beta,12-olide (1) and
Previously undescribed guaianolide-type sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the chloroform fraction of the natural hybrid mangrove Rhizophora annamalayana, and were characterised as (Z)-3α,4,5,6-tetrahydro-5α-isobutyl-2β-(methoxymethyl)-7-methyl-3H-cyclohepta[b]carbolactone (1) and
Ten new highly oxidized monomeric (1-8) and dimeric guaianolides (9 and 10), along with two known guaianolide derivatives (11 and 12), were isolated from the aerial parts of Chrysanthemum indicum using a bioassay-guided fractionation procedure. The new compounds were characterized by the basic
BACKGROUND
Eupatorium perfoliatum L. has been used traditionally for the treatment of fever, malaria and inflammation-associated diseases. Nowadays it is mostly used as immune activating remedy. The following study was performed to evaluate extracts with different polarity and defined lead-compounds
In this paper, the isolation of five new guaianolides (1: - 5: ) and four (6: - 9: ) known sesquiterpenes from Ormenis mixta aerial parts is reported. The structural determination of the guaianolides was obtained by NMR spectroscopic data, as well as MS experiments. Their relative
The anti-inflammatory activity of handelin (1), a guaianolide dimer from Chrysanthemum boreale flowers, was evaluated in vivo, and the effects on mediators nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and
Eight new pseudoguaianolides (1-8), two new guaianolides (9 and 10), and 14 known sesquiterpenes were isolated from the aerial parts of Inula hupehensis. The structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods and circular dichroism analysis. All compounds were tested for inhibitory activities
BACKGROUND
Inflammation activated by oxidative stress can cause various diseases, such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, diabetes, etc. Plant constituents with sesquiterpene lactones possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the antioxidant and
Bitter taste receptors (hTAS2R) are expressed ectopically in various tissues, raising the possibility of a pharmacological exploitation. This seems of particular relevance in airways, since hTAS2Rs are involved in the protection of the aerial tissues from infections and in bronchodilation. The
Medicinal plants have shown great promise as a source of novel drug compounds for the treatment of inflammatory disorders. In our search for new entities with anti-inflammatory potential, the extracts of the whole plant of Saussurea heteromalla (family-Asteraceae), collected from Himalayas, were
Investigation into the chemical diversity of Artemisia argyi led to the discovery of four new (1-4) and one known (5) guaianolide sesquitenpenoid dimers linked via ester bond, and five other known mono-sesquiterpenoids (6-10). Their structures were determined via extensive spectroscopic data, and
Five guaianolides and a germacrolide were isolated from the leaf rinse extract of Viguiera gardneri (Asteraceae), together with known compounds. All compounds were detected in glandular trichomes collected from the leaves and were analyzed by HPLC. Structure elucidation was based on the analysis of
BACKGROUND
Anti-inflammatory activities of medicinal plants have largely been attributed to their content of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs). SLs are predominantly found in the sunflower family Asteraceae and have been isolated from many plants of this family, particularly Centaurea. The
ABSTACTA chemical investigation of the whole plant of traditional Chinese medicine, Chrysanthemum indicum L., led to the discovery of six guaianolide-type sesquiterpenoids 1-6 with a 1,10-splited skeleton. The structure of the new compound 1 was established by extensive analysis
