    Xue-Yuan ZHANG, Liao-Bin DONG, Fei LIU, Xing-De WU, Juan HE, Li-Yan PENG, Huai-Rong LUO, Qin-Shi ZHAO
    Natural Products and Bioprospecting. 2013, 3 (2): 52-55.   DOI: 10.1007/s13659-013-0015-x
    Abstract ( 6818 )   HTML ()     PDF (686KB) ( 10196 )  
    Three new Lycopodium alkaloids, obscurumines C-E (1-3), along with nine known compounds, were isolated from the club moss Lycopodium obscurum L. Structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic analysis and the relative configurations of 1 were established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. All the new isolates were tested for the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity.

    Shan-Zhai SHANG, Ying-Shan HAN, Yi-Ming SHI, Xue DU, Cheng-Qin LIANG, Mark A. WAINBERG, Zhong-Hua GAO, Wei-Lie XIAO, Han-Dong SUN
    Natural Products and Bioprospecting. 2013, 3 (2): 56-60.   DOI: 10.1007/s13659-013-0017-8
    Abstract ( 7149 )   HTML ()     PDF (906KB) ( 10427 )  
    Four new tetrahydrofuran lignans, schpropinrins A-D (1-4), together with five known ones, were isolated from the leaves and stems of Schisandra propinqua var. sinensis. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were characterized by means of spectroscopic analysis and ECD calculation. Compounds 1-4 featured a ketal or hemiketal substructure at C-7 and all of the isolates were tested for their anti-HIV integrase activity.

    15 compounds, including two new ones crepidatuols A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the stems of Dendrobium crepidatum. The planar structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS, UV, and IR) and comparison with those from literatures. 10 compounds were send for enhancing activities on nerve growth factor (NGF) medicated neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells and the results indicated that crepidatuol A (1), confusarin and 3-(2-acetoxy-5-methoxy)-phenylpropanol showed enhancing activities at the concentration of 10.0 μM.
