1-Hydroxycanthin-6-one,an alkaloid from Ailanthus giraldii

A new alkaloid has been isolated from the heartwood of Ailanthus giraldii and its structure determined as 1-hydroxycanthin-6-one.     

Two cage-type lupin alkaloids from Sophora franchetiana

Two new cage-type lupin alkaloids, (?)-tsukushinamine-B and tsukushinamine-C, have been isolated from the fresh epigeal parts of Sophora franchetiana, along with (?)-cytisine, (?)-N-formylcytisine, (?)-rhombifoline, (?)-anagyrine, (?)-baptifoline and (±)-ammodendrine, as well as (?)-tsukushinamine-A. The structures of these novel tsukushinamine-type lupin alkaloids were determined by spectroscopic data and partly by a chemical reaction. Variations of the alkaloid contents in the seeds, seedlings and various parts of S. franchetiana were also examined.

Components of Stem Barks of Winchia calophylla A. DC. and Their Bronchodilator Activities

The Dai medicinal plant Winchia calophylla A. DC. (Apocynaceae) has efficacy as an anticough and anti-asthmatic medication. In order to investigate its relative bioactive components, we studied the chemical constituents of this plant. Using repeated column chromatography, 28 compounds, including loganin, six phenolic compounds, 17 indole alkaloids, three pyridine alkaloids, and a quinoline alkaloid,were isolated from the stem barks of W. calophylla. Loganin, paeonol, N (4)-methyl akuammicine, and cantleyine exhibited a moderate relaxation effect on isolated smooth muscles of guinea-pig tracheal spirals and lung strips and may be the bioactive components responsible for the bronchodilation produced by W. calophylla.     

1H NMR Spectroscopy of pyrrolizidine alkaloids

The ¹H NMR spectra of three pyrrolizidine alkaloids of the macrocyclic diester type, retrorsine, seneciphylline and senecionine, plus their three N-oxides have been assigned. Previous ¹H NMR studies of these pyrrolizidine alkaloids have stressed the difficulties of spectral intrepretation. The results reported here will provide a useful resource for analysis of tertiary structure in these and related compounds.     

正交设计优化微波辅助测定延胡索叶总生物碱含量

通过微波辅助提取的方式,以延胡索叶总生物碱含量为考察指标,通过单因素试验和正交试验对总生物碱提取方法进行优化。重点考察了微波提取温度、时间、料液比、提取缓冲液pH值等因素对延胡索叶总生物碱得率的影响。各因素对延胡索叶总生物碱提取量的影响大小依次为:提取缓冲液pH值料液比提取温度。其最佳的提取方法为:提取缓冲液pH值为1. 0,料液比1∶100,提取温度60℃,提取时间20 min。在此条件下,叶总生物碱含量为25. 910 mg/g。利用微波辅助提取延胡索叶中总生物碱,不仅耗时短,效率高,而且操作简单、稳定,为延胡索叶总生物碱含量测定提供一定的技术支持。

为了寻找丽江乌头中结构新颖的化合物,丰富丽江乌头的化学成分多样性,本文对丽江乌头(Aconitum forrestii Stapf)根部的化学成分进行研究,采用硅胶柱层析从其乙醇提取物中分离得到14个化合物。通过HR-ESI-MS、1D和2D NMR等波谱技术鉴定了它们的结构,其中化合物1是一个新的乌头碱型二萜生物碱,命名为8-O-methyl-14-O-anisoylchasmanine(1)。其余13个化合物均为已知化合物:14-acetoxy-8-O-methylsachaconitine(2)、14-acetyltalatizamine(3)、talatisamine(4)、chasmanine(5)、ezochasmanine(6)、crassicautine(7)、geniculatine C(8)、cammaconine(9)、vilmoraconitine(10)、aconitramine A(11)、vilmorrianine G(12)、hemsleyaconitine G(13)和heterophylloidine(14)。测试了所有化合物对阿霉素诱导的H9c2心肌细胞损伤的保护活性,结果显示化合物3、10、11和12表现出一定的保护作用。     

Estimation of Aeration and Agitation Conditions in Respect to Oxygen Supply and Ventilation

In inosine fermentation, the yield of the product was closely related to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the culture system rather than the bicarbonate ion concentration in the culture liquid. The inhibitory effect of carbon dioxide was restored by the methods of reducing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide lower than a certain level. Both ventilation and chemical absorption were applicable for the restoration of the carbon dioxide inhibition, but ventilation had great advantages over the other method from an industrial view-point. In the estimation of aeration-agitation conditions for the scale-up of submerged fermentation in which carbon dioxide was inhibitory, the rate of aeration was to be established to make sufficient ventilation and overcome this inhibition. A scheme for the procedure for the estimation of aeration-agitation conditions under the consideration of influences of carbon dioxide on submerged fermentation was proposed in this paper.
