Monoterpenoid indole alkaloids from the fruits of Melodinus henryi
Monoterpenoid Quinoline Alkaloids from Stems and Leaves of Melodinus tenuicaudatus
Two previously undescribed monoterpenoid quinoline alkaloids, namely melotenucadines A and B, together with four known analogs, were characterized from the stems and leaves of Melodinus…
Melodinines Y1–Y4, four monoterpene indole alkaloids from Melodinus henryi
Melodinines Y1–Y4 (1–4), four undescribed alkaloids were isolated from Melodinus henryi. Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR, mass spectroscopic analyses, theoretical NMR and electronic…
Taccachatrones A-G, Highly Oxidized Steroids from the Rhizomes of Tacca chantrierii and Their Cytotoxicity Assessment.
TLDR
Seven highly oxidized steroids, taccachatrones A-G (1-7), together with four known taccalonolides (8-11), were characterized from the rhizomes of Tacca chantrieri, indicating that the presence of a lactone moiety, as well as a double bond between C-22 and C-23, might play key roles in mediating their cytotoxicity.
Illudane Sesquiterpenoids from Edible Mushroom Agrocybe salicacola and Their Bioactivities
TLDR
A. salicacola is rich in illudin derivatives with potential bioactivity prospects, which would make A. saliacola a good material of medicine and food homology.
