Distribution of some triterpenes and phenolic compounds in the extractives of endemic dipterocarpaceae species of Sri Lanka

Extractives of bark and/or timber of 11 species belonging to the genera Cotylelobium, Hopea, Shorea, Vateria and Vatica yielded a fatty-acid ester, a sitosteryl ester, β-amyrin acetate, β-amyrin, dipterocarpol, ursolic acetate, lupeol, sitosterol, ursolic acid, betulinic acid, hexamethyl-coruleoellagic acid, tetramethylellagic acid, chrysophanol and scopoletin. The distribution of these compounds in 18 other species was examined by TLC screening.     

大黄酚和大黄素甲醚的制备性分离

经系统分离得到大黄酚和大黄素甲醚的混合物后,取该混合物约1g,用少量的氯仿溶解,加入少量的层析用硅胶（100～200目）拌匀,减压使氯仿蒸干。将吸附有大黄酚和大黄素甲醚的硅胶装在已装好的硅胶层析柱的上端,然后进行洗脱。通过实验,得到了最佳分离大黄酚和大黄素甲醚的条件：硅胶与混合物的质量比=150：1;层析柱长与直径的比=23：1;洗脱剂比例：石油醚（60～90℃）：乙酸乙酯（V/V）=17：1;减压淋洗。     

Comparison of three different extraction methods and HPLC determination of the anthraquinones aloe‐emodine,emodine, rheine,chrysophanol and physcione in the bark of Rhamnus alpinus L. (Rhamnaceae)

Introduction – Rhamnus alpinus L. (Rhamnaceae), a traditional plants in the flora of the Abruzzo region, is known to contain active anthraquinone secondary metabolites. However, the content of anthraquinones varies among R. alpinus samples depending on collection season and site. Thus, using simple, reliable and accurate analytical methods for the determination of anthraquinones in R. alpinus extracts allows comparative study of different methods of extraction. Objective – After a partial validation of an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of five anthraquinones, aloe‐emodine, rheine, emodine, chrysophanol and physcione, in the bark of R. alpinus, we compared three different methods of extraction. Methodology – Anthraquinones were extracted from the bark of R. alpinus using different techniques (methanol maceration, ultrasonic and supercritical CO₂ extraction). Separation and quantification of anthraquinones were accomplished using a reversed‐phase C₁₈ column with the mobile phase of H₂O–methanol (40 : 60, v/v, 1% formic acid) at a wavelength of 254 nm. The qualitative analyses were also achieved at wavelength of 435 nm. Results – All calibration curves were linear over the concentration range tested (10–200 mM) with the determination coefficients ≥0.991. The detection limits (S/N = 3) were 5 mM for each analytes. All five anthraquinones were found in the samples tested at concentrations reported in experimental data. Conclusion – The described HPLC method and optimised extraction procedure are simple, accurate and selective for separation and quantification of anthraquinones in the bark of R. alpinus and allow evaluation of the best extraction procedure between the tested assays.

Phialomyces macrosporus: Chemical Constituents,Antimicrobial Activity and Complete NMR Assignments for the 7,7′‐Biphyscion

Five known secondary metabolites, chrysophanol ( 1 ), 7,7′‐biphyscion ( 2 ), secalonic acid D ( 3 ), mannitol ( 4 ) and trehalose ( 5 ) were isolated for the first time from the extracts of the fungus Phialomyces macrosporus. Their structures were elucidated by NMR methods (1D and 2D NMR analysis), optical activity and ESI‐MS. Complete ¹H and ¹³C assignments were performed for compound 2 . The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by serial microdilution assay for compounds 2 and 3 and results showed that compound 3 exhibited a significant growth inhibition at concentrations of 15.6 mg/ml (S. aureus and S. choleraesius) and 0.97 mg/mL (B. subtilis), comparable to the positive control.
