The synthesis of 19 compounds derived from L-serine and analogs of p-substituted cinnamic acid is reported. Oxazolines 9 and oxazoles 10 have high antitubercular activity with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 0.7812-25.0 µg/mL (3.21-100.3 µM), against two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive to first-line drugs Isoniazid (INH),...

Background: Acacia farnesiana (AF) pods have been traditionally used to treat dyspepsia, diarrhea and topically for dermal inflammation. Main objectives: (1) investigate the antioxidant activity and protection against oxidative-induced damage of six extracts from AF pods and (2) their capacity to curb the inflammation process as well as to down-reg...

Twenty-six pure plant-derived compounds including alkaloids, quinones, flavonoids, and coumarins, obtained from five species of Central American plants associated with traditional uses, were tested in vitro for antiprotozoal and cytotoxic activities. The quinone, 1-acetyl-benzoisochromanquinone displayed significant antiprotozoal activity against L...

Methanolic and aqueous extracts derived from 43 plant species, selected either from ethnobotanical or chemotaxonomical data, were screened for their antiprotozoal activity against Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma brucei brucei. The cytotoxic activity against KB cells was also determined. Eight extracts had IC50 values of less than 10 microg/ml a...

Four new terpenoids, comprising three nor-secofriedelanes (1-3) and one nor-friedelane (4), were isolated from Galphimia glauca, together with the known flavonol quercetin and the sterols stigmasterol and sitosterol 3-O-beta-D-glucoside. The structure elucidation of the new isolates was conducted by 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compounds 1-4 were give...

In the search for antiprotozoal compounds from natural sources, Triclisia patens displayed activity against L. donovani promastigotes (IC(50) = 1.5 microg/mL) and T. b. brucei blood stream trypomastigote forms (IC(50) = 31.25 microg/mL). In addition, a total of 20 bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids were screened for antileishmanial and antitrypanosoma...

Four new terpenes including, two sandaracopimaradiene diterpenoids, ent-8(14),15-sandaracopimaradiene-2alpha,18-diol, and ent8(14),15-sandaracopimaradiene-2beta,18-diol, and two lanostane triterpenoids, 23-hydroxy-5alpha-lanosta 7,9(11),24-triene-3-one, and 5alpha-lanosta-7,9(11),24-triene-3alpha,23-diol, were isolated from the methanolic extract p...

Bioactivity-directed fractionation of the CHCl3-MeOH extract of the leaves of Celaenodendron mexicanum by means of the brine shrimp lethality test and chromatographic techniques led to the isolation of three carboxylic acid triterpenes, the new tirucalla-type triterpene, 3 alpha-hydroxytirucalla-7,24Z-dien-26-oic acid, 3-oxotirucalla-7,24Z-dien-26-...

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of Stephania dinklagei yielded six compounds including, two zwitterionic oxoaporphine alkaloids, N-methylliriodendronine, and 2-O,N-dimethylliriodendronine, two oxoaporphine alkaloids, liriodenine, and dicentrinone, one aporphine alkaloid, corydine, and one anthraquinone, aloe-emodin. Apart from corydine, the isolat...

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of Stephania dinklagei yielded six compounds including, two zwitterionic oxoaporphine alkaloids, N-methylliriodendronine, and 2-O,N-dimethylliriodendronine, two oxoaporphine alkaloids, liriodenine, and dicentrinone, one aporphine alkaloid, corydine, and one anthraquinone, aloe-emodin. Apart from corydine, the isolat...

A diversity of compounds with antiprotozoal activity (eg, alkaloids, terpenes, quinones, flavonoids, aurones, xanthones, cyclic tetrapeptides) have been reported in the literature between January 1990 and November 1999. The majority of these compounds have been tested for in vitro activity, some of them have been evaluated in vivo and their mode of...

A novel phenylstyrene, 6-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-2,3′,4′-trihydroxy-4-methoxy-α-phenylstyrene, and a new 4-phenylcoumarin, 5-O-(6″-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)-7,3′,4′-trihydroxy-4-phenylcoumarin, were isolated from the stem bark of Hintonia latiflora. The proposed structures are based on spectroscopic and chemical grounds.

Bioactivity directed fractionation of the acetone extract of Teloxys graveolens (Willd.) Weber (Chenopodiaceae), using the brine shrimp lethality test, led to the isolation of 5,7-dihydroxyflavanone (pinocembrine) (LC50 = 4.25 micrograms/ml) as the only active compound. Pinocembrine also exhibited fasciolicide, ovicide and larvicide activities on n...

Two new glycosides and several known compounds were isolated fron the stem bark Hintonia latiflora. The new metabolites wre characterized by chemical and spectroscopic methods as 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-23,24-dihydrocucurbitacin F and 5-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-4′-hydroxy-7-methoxy-4-phenylcoumarin.

The new cucurbitacin glucoside 2-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylcucurbitacin F 25-acetate and arvenin I were isolated from the more polar fractions of the MeOH extract of Cigarrilla mexicana.
