ABSTRACT: Mulberrofuran G (1) and isomulberrofuran G (2), a pair of isomeric Diels-Alder-type adducts, were isolated from the root bark of Morus alba L. Isomulberrofuran G (2) as a new IIB-type Diels-Alder-type adduct, was elucidated by extensive (1)H, (13)C, and two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) spectroscopic analyses. A fragmentation study on compounds 1 and 2 was performed by high-resolution electrospray ionization (ESI) multistage tandem mass spectrometry linked with ion-trap (IT) and time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzers (ESI-MS(n)/IT-TOF) in negative mode, which resulted in obviously different fragmentations. In the MS(2) experiments, the characteristic ions at m/z 451 and 439 could be revealed as their respective diagnostic ions. Mulberrofuran G (1) showed moderate activity, inhibiting hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA replication with the IC(50) value of 3.99 μM, according to the anti-HBV assay on the HepG 2.2.15 cell line in vitro.

ABSTRACT: To study the chemical constituents of Oxytropis falcate.
The air-dried whole plants of O. falcate were extracted with EtOH (90%) three times at room temperature. The compounds were isolated by silica-gel, polyamide, C-18 and Sphadex LH-20 columns. The structures were identified based on spectral elucidation.
Fourteen compounds were isolated from O. falcate and identified as, (-)-7-methoxy-dihydroflavone (1), (-)-5-hydroxy-7-methyoxy-dihydroflavone (2), (-)-pinocembrin (3), (-)-7-hydroxy-dihydroflavone (4), 4'-methoxy-2'-hydroxy-chalcone (5), 2', 4'-dihydroxy-dihydrochalcone (6), 2',4'-dihydroxy-chalcone (7), (-)-maackiain (8), tetrahydroflemichapparin-B (9), dalbergin (10), N-benzoyl-2-phenylethylamine (11), n-tetracosanol (12), rhamnocitrin-3-O-beta-neohesperidoside (13), beta-sitosterol (14).
All the compounds were isolated from O. falcate for the first time.

ABSTRACT: Two new alkaloids, hypserpanines A and B (1, 11), together with eleven known compounds, phenolbetain (2), acutumine (3), acutumidine (4), dechloroacutumine (5), dauricumine (6), dauricumidine (7), pronuciferine (8), glaziovine (9), S-reticuline (10), magnoflorine (12) and laurifoline(13), were isolated from Hypserpa nitida Miers. (Menispermaceae) and chemically elucidated through spectral analyses. All the isolated alkaloids were evaluated for their anti-HBV activities in vitro using the HBV transfected Hep G2.2.15 cell line. The most active compound, dauricumidine (7), exhibited an IC(50) value of 0.450 mM (SI=4.13) on hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) secretion of the Hep G2.2.15 cell line.

ABSTRACT: To study the chemical constituents of Oxytropis chiliophylla.
The air-dried whole plants of O. chiliophylla were extracted with EtOH (90%) three times at room temperature. The compounds were isolated by silica-gel, polyamide, C-18 and Sphadex LH -20 columns. The structures were identified based on spectral analysis.
8 compounds were isolated from O. chiliophylla and identified as azukisapogenol (1), (22E, 24R) -24-methyl-5alpha-cholesta-7, 22-diene-3beta, 5alpha, 6beta-triol (2), apigein (3), 3', 4'-dimethoxy-quercetin-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranoside (4), 7, 3', 4'-trimethoxy-quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5), (2S, 3S, 4R)-N-[(R)-2'-hydroxytetracosanoyl]-1, 3, 4-trihydroxy-2-amino-octadeca-6-ene (6), beta-sitosterol (7), daucosterol (8).
All the compounds were isolated from O. chiliophylla for the first time.

ABSTRACT: Two new quaternary isoquinoline alkaloids, saxicolalines A (1) and N-methylnarceimicine (2), together with sixteen known alkaloids (3 - 18) were isolated from Corydalis saxicola Bunting. The structures of saxicolalines A (1) and N-methylnarceimicine (2) were established based on spectral methods including 1D, 2D NMR (COSY, HMQC, HMBC) and HR-ESI-MS. The anti-HBV activities of ten main alkaloids were evaluated. Among the tested compounds, dihydrochelerythrine (8) exhibited the most potent activity against HBsAg and HBeAg secretions with IC50 < 0.05 microM, SI > 3.5, respectively.
