Many reports have shown that cannabinoids might be beneficial in the symptomatic treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). We have investigated the therapeutic properties of the non-selective cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN-2 as a suppressive drug in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS. In the passive variety of EAE, induced in Lewis rats by adoptive transfer of myelin-reactive T cells, WIN-2 ameliorates the clinical signs and diminishes the cell infiltration of the spinal cord. Due to the involvement of cannabinoids in the regulation of cell death and survival, we investigated the effects of WIN-2 on the encephalitogenic T cell population. WIN-2 induced a profound increase of apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The potential involvement of cannabinoid receptors (CB) was investigated by encephalitogenic T cell stimulation in the presence of the CB(1) (SR141716A) and CB(2) (SR144528) antagonists, pertussis toxin (PTX) and the inactive enantiomer WIN-3. WIN-2-induced apoptosis was partially blocked by SR144528 and PTX, whereas, WIN-3 only exerted a mild effect on cell viability. These results point to the partial involvement of CB(2) receptor together with other receptor-independent mechanism or by yet unknown cannabinoid receptors. Moreover, WIN-2 induced the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis, as shown by caspase-10 and -3 activation. These results suggest that cannabinoid-induced apoptosis of encephalitogenic T cells may cooperate in their anti-inflammatory action in EAE models. The partial involvement of CB(2) receptors in WIN-2 action may open new therapeutic doors in the management of MS by non-psychoactive selective cannabinoid agonists.
A procedure using gas chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS-MS) has been developed for the identification and quantification of some allelochemicals in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The quantities of allelochemicals in wheat shoots ranged from 2.9 to 110 mg per kilogram of dry shoot residues. Compared with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the GC-MS-MS technique significantly increased instrument selectivity and sensitivity, thereby providing more reliable quantitation results in the determination of the phytotoxic compounds examined during this allelopathy research.

A novel class of potential antithrombotic compounds with moderate thrombin inhibitory and fibrinogen receptor antagonistic activity is described. Combination of anticoagulant and antiaggregatory activity in the same molecular entity is presented as a new promising approach in the search for novel antithrombotic agents.
One-pot montmorillonite K-10 clay supported reactions of either salicylaldehyde/2-hydroxyacetophenone hydrazones and aryl-/alkylureas or salicylaldehydes/2-hydroxyacetophenone and 4-aryl-/alkylsemicarbazides expeditiously yield 3,4-dihydro-4-hydrazino-2H-benz[e]-1,3-oxazin-2-ones (9) via cycloisomerization of the intermediate salicylaldehyde/2-hydroxyacetophenone 4-aryl-/alkylsemicarbazones (5) under solvent-free microwave irradiation. Under the same conditions, hydrazines (9) readily underwent reductive dehydrazination on alumina-supported copper(II) sulfate to furnish 2H-benz[e]-1,3-oxazin-2-ones (10).
Regio- and diastereoselective methoxyselenenylations of double bonds attached to the N,O-ketalic carbon of chiral perhydrobenzoxazines occur in high yields by reaction with benzeneselenenyl chloride in dichloromethane-methanol. The diastereoselection is dependent on the reaction conditions and the structure of the starting compounds and can be rationalized by accepting the coordination of the selenium to the oxygen atom of the heterocycle.
Regio- and diastereoselective methoxyselenenylation of cinnamylamines attached to a chiral perhydrobenzoxazine occurs in high yields by reaction with benzeneselenenyl chloride in dichloromethane-methanol. The diastereoselection is dependent on the temperature of the reaction and the structure of the substituent at C-2 and can be rationalized by accepting a 1,4-asymmetric induction process after coordination of the selenium to the nitrogen atom of the allylamine system.
Variable-temperature NMR experiments and ab initio density functional calculations were carried out to investigate the conformation interconversion of novel chiral 3-alkyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]oxazine derivatives. With CDCl3 as the solvent, the coalescence temperatures of H2, H3, H11, and H19 of product 1 are about 289, 304, 292, and 316 K, with the corresponding activation free energies at 58.0 +/- 6.7, 60.9 +/- 7.1, 58.3 +/- 6.8, and 59.6 +/- 6.9 kJ.mol(-1), respectively. When dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO-d6) was used as the solvent, 1H and 13C NMR signals were completely assigned at 375 K. The effects of solvent and temperature were investigated through a polarizable continuum model. At each theoretical level (MP2 or B3LYP), the changing tendencies of the calculated activation free energies and interconversion rates agree well with those of the NMR results. In addition, the interconversion rate at each specified temperature was calculated to be about 1.5 times faster in DMSO-d6 than in CDCl3. Accordingly, we failed to observe the coalescence phenomena of H3 and H19 in DMSO-d6 by NMR measurements from 296 to 375 K. The substitution effect at the R1-R5 positions was considered using density functional calculations, with the activation barriers decreasing as follows: product 6 > 3 > 1 > 7 > 2. This sequence is consistent with that of the reaction heats, except for product 7, implying that the interconversion processes may be thermodynamically controlled. Surprisingly, the substituted groups near the acetyl group in product 2 and 7 do not elevate the activation barrier but, instead, lower it somewhat, with the possible reasons for this provided in the paper.

The biotransformation of the phytoanticipin HBOA and its major degradation metabolites 2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (7) and N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (8) by Chaetosphaeria sp., an endophytic fungus isolated from Aphelandra tetragona, was studied. Three new metabolites could be identified as 2-amino-7-hydroxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one (12), 2-acetylamino-7-hydroxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one (13) and 7-hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxyacetyl)-amino-3H-phenoxazin-3-one (14). Structure elucidation of 12 and 13 was performed by MS, 1H, 13C NMR and 2D NMR techniques and confirmed by chemical transformation.
Secondary metabolites, DIBOA, HBOA, 7-OH-HBOA, BOA and gallic acid, were isolated and quantified from Calceolaria thyrsiflora Graham, a native medicinal plant of Chile belonging to the Scrophulariaceae family. The highest DIBOA contents were determined in leaves (145 mmol kg(-1) dry wt) and flowers (161 mmol kg(-1) dry wt). Antibacterial activities of DIBOA, HBOA, BOA, gallic acid and infusions of flowers and leaves were determined. The phytomedicinal properties attributed to C. thyrsiflora Graham could be understood on the basis of its antibacterial activity.
