pachysandra axillaris/alkaloid

The aim of the present study was to identify potentially useful natural compounds for the development of novel therapeutic agents to inhibit metastasis. A phytochemical investigation of Pachysandra terminalis resulted in the isolation of seven new pregnane alkaloids, terminamines A-G (1-7), and

Four novel steroidal alkaloids, (+)-(20S)-20-(dimethylamino)-3-(3'alpha-isopropyl)-lactam-5alpha-+ ++preg n-2-en-4-one (1), (+)-(20S)-20-(dimethylamino)-16alpha-hydroxy-3-(3'alpha-isopropyl) -la ctam-5alpha-pregn-2-en-4-one (2), (+)-(20S)-3-(benzoylamino)-20-(dimethylamino)-5alpha-pregn-2-en-++

A new kind of pregnane-type alkaloid, 20α-dimethylamino-3β-senecioylamino-16β-hydroxy-pregn-5-ene (K-6), was isolated from Pachysandra terminalis Sieb. et Zucc., and its antibacterial activity against MRSA and MRSE was evaluated. We found that K-6 showed antibacterial effects against MRSA and MRSE

Four steroidal alkaloids, epipachysamines B (1) and E (2), pachystermine A (3) and pachysamine E (4), were isolated as cytotoxic principles from the MeOH extract of the stems of Pachysandra terminalis SIEB. et ZUCC. (Buxaceae). These alkaloids showed cytotoxic activity against P388 and P388/ADR

Nine new pregnane alkaloids (1-9), together with eight known alkaloids (10-17), were isolated from the whole herb of Pachysandra terminalis. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. In addition, the isolates were examined for their ability to inhibit the migration of

Two new pregnane alkaloids, (20S)-20α-cinnamoylamino-3β-dimethylamino-5-en-pregnane (1) and (20S)-20α-cinnamoylamino-3β-dimethylamino-pregnane (2), and four known alkaloids

Effect of a steroidal alkaloid, epipachysamine-A, extracted from Pachysandra terminalis Sieb. et Zucc. on gastric acid secretion was studied in rats. Epipachysamine-A prevented 2-deoxy-D-glucose- or thyrotropin-releasing hormone-stimulated gastric acid secretion in anesthetized rats. However, the

Nine new pregnane alkaloids, pachysamines J-R (1-9), together with seven known ones, were isolated from Pachysandra axillaris. The chemical structures of the new alkaloids were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. All the compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against HL-60,

Three new pregnane alkaloids, named terminamines H-J (1-3), together with two known alkaloids (4 and 5), were isolated from the ethanol extract of Pachysandra terminalis. The structures of isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including (1)H and (13)C NMR, 2D NMR, and
