New Antifeedant Grayanane Diterpenoids from the Flowers of Pieris formosa.

ABSTRACT: Three new grayanane diterpenoids, pierisoids C?E (1-3), as well as 10 known ones (4-13), were evaluated from the flowers of Pieris formosa, which is used as an insecticide in rural areas of China. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data analyses. Significant antifeedant activity of 1, 3 and 10 against the beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua) was found, indicating that these diterpenoids might also be involved in the plant defense against insect herbivores.

Antifeedant and Antiviral Diterpenoids from the Fresh Roots of Euphorbia jolkinii.

Project description:AbstractThe perennial herbaceous plant Euphorbia jolkinii (Euphorbiaceae) is a noxious weed widely distributed in the grasslands of northwestern Yunnan and has greatly threatened the local biodiversity. Phytochemical investigation on the fresh roots of E. jolkinii afforded six new diterpenoids 1, 2, 4-6, and 8, together with fifteen known diterpenoids. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR and other spectroscopic methods. Casbane, lathyrane, abietane, and ent-kaurane diterpenoids were reported from this plant for the first time. Selected compounds were evaluated for their antifeedant and anti-RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) activities. Compound 2 and ingenol (3) exhibited moderate antifeedant activity against a generalist insect herbivore, Spodoptera exigua, with EC50 values of 17.88 and 17.71 μg/cm(2) respectively. Compound 19 showed significant anti-RSV activity, with 50 % inhibition (IC50) value of 10.0 μM and selective index of 8.0. Compounds 1 and 2 were less active against RSV virus, both with IC50 value of 25 μM, and with selective indices of 1.0 and 3.2 respectively. These findings provided new evidence for the biological functions and utilization of the diversified diterpenoid metabolites in the roots of this rich but harmful plant.

Antinociceptive grayanane-derived diterpenoids from flowers of Rhododendron molle.

Project description:Twelve new grayanoids (1-12) along with five known compounds were isolated from flowers of Rhododendron molle. Their structures were fully characterized using a combination of spectroscopic analyses, computational calculations, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Rhomollone A (1) possesses an unprecedented 5/6/6/5 tetra-cyclic ring system (B-nor grayanane) incorporating a cyclopentene-1,3-dione scaffold. Rhodomollein XLIII (2) is a dimeric grayanoid, containing a novel 14-membered heterocyclic ring with a C 2 symmetry axis. The antinociceptive activities of compounds 3, 4, 6, 7, and 12-17 were evaluated by an acetic acid-induced writhing test. Among them, compounds 3, 7, 12, 15 and 16 displayed significant antinociceptive activities at a dose of 20 mg/kg with inhibition rates ranging from 41.9% to 91.6%. Compounds 6 and 13 inhibited 46.0% and 39.4% of the acetic acid-induced writhes at a dose of 2 mg/kg, while compound 17 inhibited 34.3% of the writhes at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg.

New Taxane Diterpenoids from Taxus yunnanensis.

Project description:Three hitherto unknown taxane diterpenoids, namely baccatin VIII (1), baccatin IX (2), and baccatin X (3), along with 10 known analogues were isolated from an ethanolic extract of the twigs and leaves of Taxus yunnanensis. The new structures were characterized based on extensive spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 were tested for their in vitro cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines, and 1 exhibited inhibitory effects on HL-60 and MCF-7, with IC50 values of 3.44 and 9.67 μM, respectively.

New diterpenoids from soft coral Sarcophyton ehrenbergi.

Project description:Continuing chemical investigation on the acetone extracts of the soft coral Sarcophyton ehrenbergi collected off the coast of San-hsian-tai, Taitong County, Taiwan led to the isolation of two new diterpenoids, ehrenbergol C and acetyl ehrenberoxide B (1 and 2). The structures of these isolated metabolites were elucidated through extensive spectroscopic analyses. Moreover, in vitro tests show that compounds 1 and 2 displayed antiviral activity towards human cytomegalovirus, with EC50 of 20 and 8.0 µg/mL, respectively.

Four new diterpenoids from Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora

Project description:Four new diterpenoids, laxiflorins S-V (1–4), bearing four different types, and one known compound, laxiflorin O (5), were isolated from Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora. Compound 1 was the first example of ent-kauranoids bearing a unique C24 carbon framework and compound 4 was the first example of 3,4-seco-ent-abietane diterpenoids from the Isodon genus. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, MS, NMR).

Screening of new microsatellite DNA markers from the genome of Platyeriocheir formosa.

Project description:The catadromous Platyeriocheir formosa is a crab endemic in Taiwan. To conserve P. formosa population diversity and ensure the sustainable use of this natural resource, we have developed new genetic markers, 17 polymorphic microsatellite loci, to promote the study of its population genetics in the future. In this study, more than 70 microsatellite sequences were found. Among these, 18 loci were selected to analyze the genetic diversity of P. formosa. With the exception of the Pfo15 locus, all of the remaining loci were polymorphic with allelic numbers ranging from 3-14. Heterozygosity within all 17 polymorphic loci ranged from 0.2-0.95 with an average of 0.55, which suggested that these loci are proper markers for studying population genetics. After we tested cross-specific amplification, eight and six primer sets could be successfully used for the amplification of microsatellite loci in morphologically similar Eriocheir sinensis and E. japonica, respectively; this suggests that they are useful markers for closely related species.

Four new briarane diterpenoids from Taiwanese gorgonian Junceella fragilis.

Project description:Four new 8-hydroxybriarane diterpenoids, frajunolides P-S (1-4), together with umbraculolide A, juncenolide C, junceellonoid A and juncin R, were isolated from the acetone extract of the gorgonian Junceella fragilis, collected from the southeast coast of Taiwan. Compound 1 contains an unusual pivaloyloxy group at C-2, while 3 is a rare compound having a chlorine atom on the olefinic carbon (C-6). The structures of the isolated compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D- and 2D-NMR, as well as HRMS data. Compound 1 was further confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. In the anti-inflammatory test, compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate inhibition on superoxide anion generation and elastase release by human neutrophils in response to formylmethionylleucyl-phenylalanine/dihydrocytochalasin B (fMLP/CB).

Semisynthesis and antifeedant activity of new derivatives of a dihydro-β-agarofuran from Parnassia wightiana.

Project description:Five new derivatives (2-6) were semi-synthesized using compound 1, a dihydro-β-agarofuran sesquiterpene with C-2 ketone obtained from Parnassia wightiana, as the starting material by acylation, oxidation, reduction, esterification, and amination, respectively. Structures of 2-6 were confirmed by 1D- and 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectra. In addition, antifeedant activities of these compounds (1-6) were tested against the 3rd-instar larvae of Mythimna separata. Antifeedant effects of compounds 2 and 4 were greater than the parent compound 1 whereas other compounds exhibited low to no feeding deterrent effects against third instar M. separata larvae in lab bioassays. Therefore, our results suggest that acylated and reduced derivatives at C-8 and C-2, respectively, of 1 may improve the antifeeding effect. This preliminary information will be useful in designing new insect control agents against M. separata and other important pests.
