Microbiologically catalyzed enantio- and diastereoselective oxidation of chrysanthemol stereoisomers to chrysanthemic acids.

The diastereo- and enantioselective microbial oxidation of a mixture of racemic cis/trans-chrysanthemols to the corresponding stereoisomeric chrysanthemic acids by Aspergillus species is described. Of the three microorganisms which were found capable of oxidizing racemic cis/trans-chrysanthemols, A. ochraceus ATCC 18500 showed complete enantioselectivity for (+)-stereoisomers [(+)-trans-chrysanthemol and (+)-cis-chrysanthemol), whereas A. flavipes ATCC 1030 and ATCC 11013 showed complete enantioselectivity for the (+)-cis-chrysanthemol but a time-dependent enantioselectivity during oxidation of trans-chrysanthemol [oxidation of (+)-trans-chrysanthemol prior to (-)-trans-chrysanthemol]. The diastereoselectivity of all three microorganisms was time dependent, in that the trans-stereoisomers were oxidized prior to the cis-isomers.

Antibacterial activity studies of flavonoids from Salvia palaestina.

Ten aglycones and six glycosides of luteolin and apigenin were identified from the leaves of Salvia palaestina Bentham (Labiatae). Among them cirsimaritin showed a high activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, while the others have little or no activity against the same bacterial strains.

New daucane esters from Ferula tingitana.

In addition to the three known daucane esters (2,3,8) and one phenylpropanoid (9), the petroleum ether extract of the roots of Ferula tingitana yielded four new daucane esters: 14-p-anisoyloxy-dauc-4,8-diene (1), acetyltingitanol (4), acetyldesoxodehydrolaserpitine (5), and 4-beta-hydroxy-6-alpha-p-hydroxybenzoyloxy-10-alpha-angeloyloxy dauc-8-ene (6). A possible biogenetic pathway for 1,5-cis- and 1,5-trans-daucanes is presented.
