asimicin/annona

A bio-guided optimization of the extraction of bioactive components from Annona glabra leaves has been developed using the etiolated wheat coleoptile bioassay as the control method. The optimization of an ultrasound-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds using allelopathy results as target

Two new adjacent bis-THF annonaceous acetogenins, 9-hydroxyfolianin (1) and folianin B (2), together with two known acetogenins, asimicin (3) and bullatacin (4), significantly bioactives in brine shrimp lethality test, were isolated from seeds of Annona cornifolia A. St. Hil (Annonaceae). Their

Column chromatography led to the isolation and full characterization of N-cerotoyltryptamine (1) previously described in a mixture of 5 compounds, asimicin (2) and ent-19-Carbomethoxykauran-17-oic acid (3) isolated from this species for first time alongside

The North American pawpaw [ Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal] is a tree fruit in the early stages of commercial production in the United States. This plant contains annonaceous acetogenins in the twigs, unripe fruit, seeds, roots, and bark tissues, which display antitumor, pesticidal, antimalarial,

Screening of crude extracts of the bark of Annona bullata showed cytotoxic and pesticidal activities. By monitoring with brine-shrimp lethality, two novel, extremely potent acetogenins, bullatacin [1] and bullatacinone [2], were isolated. Spectral and chemical methods identified bullatacin as a

The increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics has motivated the interest in potent natural compounds capable of disrupting bacterial cell-to-cell communication. Column chromatography of seed extract of Annona senegalensis afforded N-cerotoyltryptamine (1), asimicin (2) and

Bioactivity-guided fractionation led to the isolation of two new Annonaceous acetogenins, annocatacin A ( 1). and annocatacin B ( 2). from the seeds and the leaves, respectively, of Annona muricata. Compounds 1 and 2 are the first examples where the adjacent bis-tetrahydrofuran ring system is

A new beta-hydroxy-gamma-methyl-gamma-lactone bistetrahydrofuranic acetogenin, tucumanin, with the infrequent symmetrical threo/trans/threo/trans/threo relative configuration at the tetrahydrofuran rings was isolated from Annona cherimolia (Annonaceae) seeds. The inhibitory potency on the
