大花翠雀的新二萜生物碱

从大花翠雀(Delphinium grandiflorum L.)的地上部分分离到两个微量的新二萜生物碱——大花翠雀辛(grandifloricine,Ⅰ)和大花翠雀亭(grandifloritine,Ⅱ)。通过分析光谱信息测定了它们的化学结构,并通过化学反应转变为 takaosamine 而得到确证。     

Two New C19-Diterpenoid Alkaloids from Delphinium shawurense

Shawurenine C ( 1a ) and D ( 1b ), a new pair of regioisomeric C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloids, and five known C₁₉-diterpenoid alkaloids ( 2 – 6 ) were isolated from the aerial part of Delphinium shawurense W. T. Wang. The chemical structures of new compounds were established based on spectroscopic analyses: HR-ESI-MS, and 1D, 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities of these diterpenoid alkaloids were also evaluated.

Acylated flavonol tetraglycosides from Delphinium gracile

An ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Delphinium gracile DC. yielded five flavonol glycosides quercetin-3-O-{[β-d-xylopyranosyl (1 → 3)-4-O-(E-p-caffeoyl)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1 → 6)][β-d-glucopyranosyl (1 → 2)]}-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), quercetin-3-O-{[β-d-xylopyranosyl (1 → 3)-4-O-(E-p-coumaroyl)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1 → 6)][β-d-glucopyranosyl (1 → 2)]}-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), quercetin-3-O-{[β-d-xylopyranosyl (1 → 3)-4-O-(Z-p-coumaroyl)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1 → 6)][β-d-glucopyranosyl (1 → 2)]}-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), kaempferol-3-O-{[β-d-glucopyranosyl (1 → 3)-4-O-(E-p-coumaroyl)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1 → 6)][β-d-glucopyranoside-7-O-(4-O-acetyl)-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (4) kaempferol-3-O-{[β-d-glucopyranosyl (1 → 3)-4-O-(E-p-coumaroyl)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1 → 6)][β-d-glucopyranoside-7-O-(4-O-acetyl)-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (5) in addition to 4-(β-d-glucopyranosyloxy)-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (6) and rutin.

Genetic diversity in the endangered dysploid larkspur Delphinium bolosii and its close diploid relatives in the series Fissa of the Western Mediterranean area

Allozyme diversity was evaluated in four closely-related taxa of the Delphinium series Fissa distributed throughout the Western Mediterranean area. All are considered threatened plants. Delphinium bolosii and Delphinium mansanetianum are narrowly endemic to the Eastern Iberian Peninsula, whereas Delphinium fissum ssp. sordidum is found in a few populations across the Peninsula. Delphinium fissum ssp. fissum is more widely distributed but often in small and isolated populations. In this group, Delphinium bolosii is dysploid (2 n  = 18) whereas the other taxa are diploid (2 n  = 16). A total of 12 populations were surveyed, including all known locations for D. bolosii , D. mansanetianum , and D. fissum ssp. sordidum . Eleven enzyme systems were assayed and 15 loci were resolved. Markedly depauperate values for genetic diversity were obtained for D. mansanetianum ( H _e = 0.013) and D. fissum ssp. sordidum ( H _e = 0.044). The estimates for D. fissum ssp. fissum ( H _e = 0.071) were below the values expected for widespread species. Small population size and marginal distribution have probably contributed to the low variability observed in this group. By contrast, D. bolosii exhibited comparatively larger populations and greater genetic diversity ( H _e = 0.138). We suggest that, apart from population size and local adaptation, genetic diversity during speciation may have been promoted by dysploidy through genomic recombination.  © 2007 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2007, 92 , 773–784.     

Relationships between heterozygosity and fitness in the Iberian threatened larkspur Delphinium bolosii (Ranunculaceae)

The relationship between individual heretozygosity and fitness was explored in the perennial larkspur Delphinium bolosii (Ranunculaceae), an endangered species endemic to Catalonia (North-Eastern Spain), as a part of several studies prior to designing a programme for the reintroduction of this species in a locality where it has been extinct for approximately one century. Allozyme electrophoresis was used to quantify the levels of heterozygosity at nearly to one hundred surveyed individuals in two extant populations. At the same time, eight parameters of vegetative and reproductive fitness were measured. A principal component analysis reduced the original fitness variables to three uncorrelated principal components, two associated with the maternal plant and the other one with the offspring. However, none of the components were significantly correlated with heterozygosity. The low number of variable allozyme markers and the likely influence of ecological factors could be responsible for the lack of correlation between individual heterozygosity and fitness.     

Honatisine, a novel diterpenoid alkaloid, and six known alkaloids from Delphinium honanense and their cytotoxic activity

A novel diterpene alkaloid named honatisine (1) has been isolated from the whole plants of Delphinium honanense, along with six known alkaloids, siwanine E (2), isoatisine (3), atisine (4), delcorinine (5), uraphine (6), and nordhagenine A (7). Their structures were deduced on the basis of their spectral data. All of them were evaluated by a SRB assay for their cytotoxicity, and compound 1 showed a significant cytotoxic activity (IC(50) =3.16 μM) against the MCF-7 cell line.     

Delphinium nortonii Dunn的重新描述

通过检查藏南翠雀花Delphinium nortonii 的主模式标本,发现《中国植物志》、《西藏植物志》和《Flora of China》中对该种的鉴定和描述有误。该种的花的退化雄蕊黑褐色,属于翠雀亚属的密花翠雀花组subgen. Delphinastrum sect. Elatopsis, 而上述几种植物志中长1以来将其置于退化雄蕊为蓝色或蓝紫色的翠雀组sect. Delphinastrum中。这几种植物志中记载的D. nortonii 实际上代表一个新种,即李恒翠雀花D. lihengianum。     

国产12种乌头属和18种翠雀属植物的细胞学研究

研究了12种乌头属Aconitum L．和18种翠雀属Delphinium L．植物的染色体。在12种乌头属植物中,除粗花乌头A．crassiflorum为四倍体(2n=4x=32)外,其他种类都为二倍体(2n=2x＝16),中甸乌头 A.piepunense中有B染色体存在,牛扁亚属Aconitum subgen．Lycoctonum的二倍体植物与乌头亚属Aconitum subgen．Aconitum 植物的染色体在大小和形态上有明显区别;所有18种翠雀属植物都为二倍体(2n＝2x=16),其染色体在大小和形态上极为相似,但与乌头亚属的染色体易于区别。翠雀属植物的核型不对称性程度明显高于乌头属植物,因此从染色体证据来看,翠雀属要比乌头属进化。
