Cytotoxic 16-β-[(d-xylopyranosyl)oxy]oxohexadecanyl triterpene glycosides from a Malagasy plant, Physena sessiliflora

Brine shrimp lethality assay-guided separation of the MeOH extract of leaves of Physena sessiliflora, which is endemic to Madagascar, afforded eight triterpene glycosides, Physenoside S1–4 and 16-β-[(d-xylopyranosyl)oxy]oxohexadecanyl homologues, Physenoside S5–8. Structural elucidation of these compounds was based on both spectroscopic analyses and chemical properties. Physenoside S7 and S8 have significant cytotoxic activities in the brine shrimp lethality assay.     

Cleome monophylla essential oil and its constituents as tick (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus) and maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) repellents

The repellency of the essential oil of the shrubCleome monophylla (Family: Capparidaceae) and identified constituents of the oil were evaluated against the livestock tick,Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and the maize weevil,Sitophillus zeamais. In a tick climbing repellency bioassay, the oil ofC. monophylla exhibited repellency which, at the highest dose, was comparable to that of the commercial arthropod repellent N,N-diethyl toluamide (DEET). In a Y-tube olfactometer bioassay,C. monophylla oil showed higher or comparable repellency againstS. zeamais relative to DEET at all the doses tested. 14 Compounds were identified in theC. monophylla oil by GC, GC-MS and coinjection with authentic samples. Terpenolene was found to occur in largest quantity (14%) followed by 1-α-terpeneol (10%), pentacosane (9%), (α+β)-humulene (8%), phytol (5%) and 2-dodecanone (4%). The most repellent components againstR. appendiculatus andS. zeamais were 1-α-terpeneol and 2-dodecanone. The overall pattern of repellency activity of theC. monophylla constituents with respect to the two arthropods was, however, different. The potential ofC. monophylla in tick and maize weevil control is discussed.     

(−)-Epiafzelechin 5-O-βD-glucoside from crataeva religiosa

Epiafzelechin 5-glucoside was characterized from the bark of Crataeva religiosa together with other known compounds.     

毛瓣牛眼睛， 广西白花菜科植物一新变种

报道了广西白花菜科植物一新变种。本变种与原变种牛眼睛的区别在于:叶柄较短,长3～7mm,外轮较大的一枚萼内面基部增厚,具腺体;花瓣外面顶部及近边缘被褐色柔毛,内面密被长柔毛,边缘具缘毛,较大的2枚相邻,边缘中部以下紧接,内面基部各具1大型腺体,剥落后可见1淡黄色至黄色卵形腺体着生在花托上;种子具白色、粘滑、薄肉质的假种皮。     

Glucosinolates of egyptian Capparis species

Capparis ovata var. palaestina Zoh., C. spinosa var. aegyptia Boiss. and C. spinosa var. deserti Zoh., were investigated for glucosinolates. Glucoiberin, glucocapparin, sinigrin, glucocleomin, glucocapangulin, glucobrassicin and neoglucobrassicin, in addition to two others, were isolated. Four of these viz. glucoiberin, sinigrin, glucobrassicin and neoglucobrassicin were detected for the first time in Capparis species. Comparative chromatographic analyses of the glucosinolates of the plants examined revealed qualitative differences.     

Alcaloïdes chez les capparidaceae

Alkaloids were isolated from leaves of 33 of 36 species and l-stachydrine and l-3-hydroxystachydrine were the major components present. These alkaloids characterize the family Capparidaceae in the same way as do the glucosinolates.     

五个国产双子叶植物名称的后选模式指定

查阅保存于中国科学院植物研究所标本馆（PE）的壳斗科(Fagaceae)、罂粟科(Papaveraceae)、山柑科(Capparidaceae)和十字花科(Cruciferae)植物的模式标本时,发现有5个植物名称的模式均多于1份标本,或同时引证1号以上的标本而没指定模式,根据《国际植物命名法规》(维也纳法规)规则8.1、9.9、9.10和37.2,以及辅则9A.2和9A.3的精神,对这些名称做出后选模式指定。
