Chloromycorrhizinol A,A furochroman from an isolate of the roots of Monotropa hypopitys

A new furochroman, chloromycorrhizinol A, has been isolated together with mycorrhizin A and chloromycorrhizin A from an isolate (D 37) from the roots of Monotropa hypopitys. Its structure, determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods, is 3,4-dichloro-5,7-dihydroxy-2,8,8-trimethyl-furo-[3,2-h]-chroman.     

A chalcone glycoside from Abies pindrow

The EtOH extract of air-dried stems of Abies pindrow yielded okanin, okanin 4′-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, butein 4′-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, 8,3′4′-trihydroxyflavanone-7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside and a new chalcone glycoside, 2′,3′,4′:3,4-pentahydroxy-chalcone 4′-(l-arabinofuranosyl-α-1→4-d-glucopyranoside-β).     

A cucurbitacin glycoside from Picrorhiza kurrooa

A novel cucurbitacin glycoside bitter principle has been isolated from roots extracts of Picrorhiza kurrooa and shown to be 25-acetoxy-2-β-glucosyloxy-3,16,20-trihydroxy-9-methyl-19-norlanosta-5,23-diene-22-one. Two previously described catalpol derivatives were also isolated; neither was as bitter as the cucurbitacin glycoside.     

A new flavone from Ageratum conyzoides

A new flavone has been isolated from Ageratum conyzoides and identified as 5,6,7,8,3′,4′,5′-heptamethoxyflavone on the basis of spectroscopic and degradative evidence and the assignment is confirmed by synthesis.     

Rivularinin,a new saponin from Anemone rivularis

A new saponin, rivularinin, has been isolated from the ethanolic extract of Anemone rivularis (Ranunculaceae). The saponin was shown to be [α-l-arabinofuranosyl(1→2)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1→4)-β-d-glucopyranosyl(1→4)-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl(1→3)]-3β-hydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid.     

Coumarin and terpenoids from Perezia alamani var. oolepis

Isoparvifolinone (2a), 8-hydroxypereflorine (3a) and diperezone (5) and the known sesquiterpenes cyperene and parvifoline (1a) were isolated from the roots of Perezia alamani var. oolepis. The structures of the new compounds were deduced from spectral data and tested by chemical correlation. Thus diperezone (5) was identical to the dimerization product of perezone (4a), isoparvifolinone (2a) was partially synthesized from parvifoline (1a) and 8-hydroxypereflorine (3a) was converted into the known 8-methoxypereflorine (3b).     

Gymnospermin: A new labdan triol from Gymnosperma glutinosa

The structure of gymnospermin (1), a new diterpene triol isolated from a collection of Gymnosperma glutinosa (Compositae) from Mexico, has been determined to be (?)-7β,8α,15-trihydroxy-labdan.     

A diterpene acid from baccharis tucumanensis

The new clerodane diterpene 1 was isolated from the aerial parts of Baccharis tucumanensis (Compositae). Its structure has been determined from spectral data combined with chemical transformations.     

Two new flavones from Eupatorium coelestinum

Besides coumarin, nobiletin, lucidin dimethyl ether and 5,6,7,3′,4′-pentamethoxyflavone, two new highly oxygenated flavones were isolated from Eupatorium coelestinum. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and alkaline degradations as 5,6,7,8,3′,4′,5′ -heptamethoxyflavone and 5,6,7,8,5′-pentamethoxy-3′,4′-methylenedioxyflavone.
