Antileishmanial Acetylene Fatty Acid and Acetogenins from Seeds of Porcelia mac...

In the present work five acetylene derivatives (1-5), including three unknowns (1, 3 and 4), were isolated from seeds of Porcelia macrocarpa (Annonaceae). The structures of isolated compounds were determined as docos-13-yn-21-enoic acid (1), 3-hydroxy-4-methylene-2-(eicos-11’-yn-19’-enyl)but-2-enolide (2), 3-hydroxy-4-methylene-2-(octadec-9’-yn-17’-enyl)but-2-enolide (3), 3-hydroxy-4-methylene-2-(hexadec-7’-yn-...

Dereplication of Aporphine Alkaloids by UHPLC-HR-ESI-MS/MS and NMR from Dugueti...

Although the genus Duguetia is well known for producing alkaloids as chemical constituents, there are no reports of alkaloids identified in the species D. lanceolata. Thus, aiming to identify the chemical composition of this species, the dereplication of alkaloidic phase was performed by use of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography high resolution electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-H...

ISOLATION OF ANTIFUNGAL QUINOID DERIVATIVES FROM LEAVES OF Pentacalia desiderab...

In the present work, leaves of Pentacalia desiderabilis (Asteraceae) were subjected to extraction using aqueous 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (BMImBr) in the microwave assisted extraction (MAE). The obtained extract was partitioned using CH2Cl2 and antifungal activity against Cladosporium cladosporioides and C. sphaerospermum of the organic phase was evaluated. Sequentially, this material was subjected to...

A Comparative Study on Chemical Composition, Antileishmanial and Cytotoxic Acti...

Meliaceae representatives are economically important in several aspects including the production of highly prized woods (mahogany, cedar, etc.), constituents for cosmetics, and insecticides. The present study aimed to verify the chemical composition as well as leishmanicidal and cytotoxic potential of essential oils from leaves of two different populations of Guarea macrophylla collected at cities of São Paulo ...

Ergosterol isolated from the basidiomycete Pleurotus salmoneostramineus affects...

Abstract Background Major drawbacks of the available treatment against Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) include its toxicity and therapeutic inefficiency in the chronic phase of the infection, which makes it a concern among neglected diseases. Therefore, the discovery of alternative drugs for treating chronic Chagas disease requires immediate action. In this work, we evaluated the mushroom Pleurotus sa...

Application of an Ionic Liquid in the Microwave Assisted Extraction of Cytotoxi...

This work reports the application of an ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, BMImBr) in the microwave assisted extraction (MAE) of metabolites from fruits of Schinus terebinthifolius. Dried fruits were individually extracted using BMImBr:H2O 1:1, v/v (experiment 1) and pure H2O (experiment 2) by MAE (10 min at 60 ºC). After partition using EtOAc, the yield to experiment 1 was about 23% while to ex...

Dinor Casearin X, a New Cytotoxic Clerodane Diterpene from Casearia sylvestris

In vitro trypanocidal evaluation of pinane derivatives from essential oils of r...

Essential oils of ripe fruits from Schinus terebinthifolius (Anacardiaceae), obtained using a pilot extractor and a Clevenger apparatus were chemically characterized. Due the high amount of (-)- α-pinene in both oils, this monoterpene was tested against the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, showing a moderate potential (IC50 63.56 µg/mL) when compared to benznidazole (IC50 43.14 µg/mL). Otherwise, (-)- α-pi...

Isolamento e avaliação do potencial citotóxico de derivados fenólicos de Schinu...

The EtOH extract from leaves of S. terebinthifolius was subjected to partition between EtOH:H2O and hexane, CH2Cl2, and EtOAc. The phases obtained were evaluated in vitro against human tumoral cell lines and the EtOAc phase exhibited activity. Chromatographic procedures afforded gallic acid (1), methyl (2) and ethyl (3) gallates, trans-catechin (4), quercitrin (5), and afzelin (6), being the first occurrence of...
