Abstract

Three novel benzophenone C-glucosides, 3'-C-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2',4',6',3-tetrahydroxy-4-methoxybenzophen one, 3'-C-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2',4',6'-trihydroxy-3,4-dimethoxybenzophen one and 4'-C-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2',3',5',6',3-pentahydroxybenzophenone, named telephenones A, B, and C were isolated from the whole plant of Polygala telephioides WILLD and their structures determined by analysis of spectroscopic data.

Revision of the structures of citrifolinin A, citrifolinoside, yopaaoside A, yopaaoside B, and morindacin, iridoids from Morinda citrifolia L. and Morinda coreia Ham.

[Structure: see text] Citrifolin A was revised to dehydromethoxygaertneroside (2). Citrifolinoside and yopaaoside A were found to be identical, and their structures were revised to the new structure dehydroepoxymethoxygaertneroside (5). Yopaaoside B was revised to citrifolinoside A (9), and morindacin was revised to borreriagenin (11).

Comparative phytochemical characterization of three Rhodiola species.

In comparison to the well-recognized adaptogenic herb Rhodiola rosea, phytochemical constituents of two other Rhodiola species (R. heterodonta and R. semenovii) were elucidated and characterized. Two major phytochemical groups; phenolic and/or cyanogenic glycosides and proanthocyanidins, were isolated and identified in the three species. Chemical similarities among the three species were observed; however, each species displayed differences in phytochemical constituents. R. heterodonta contained a newly detected phenylethanoid glycoside, heterodontoside, in addition to the known compounds tyrosol, viridoside, salidroside, and rhodiocyanoside A. Both R. heterodonta and R. rosea contained phenylethanoid/propanoid compounds that were not detected in R. semenovii. For R. semenovii, the cyanogenic glucosides rhodiocyanoside A and lotaustralin were detected. Although the three species have proanthocyanidins composed of (-)-epigallocatechin and its 3-O-gallate esters in common, the degree of polymerization greatly differed between them. In contrast to R. heterodonta and R. semenovii, R. rosea has higher molecular weight polymeric proanthocyanidins. This study resulted in the identification and isolation of phytochemical constituents for direct cross-comparison between three Rhodiola species of medicinal and pharmacological value.

Enantiospecific approach toward pentalenolactone.

[reaction: see text] The enantiospecific assembly of the pentalenolactones' carbon skeleton was achieved in 17 steps and 16% overall yield from methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside. The synthetic strategy relies on two highly efficient key steps: an exo-diastereoselective Diels-Alder reaction and a nonsymmetric ozonolysis.
