Miscellaneous Diterpenes from the Aerial Parts of Plectranthus ornatus Codd
Ávila,Fábio N.; Pinto,Francisco C. L.; Sousa,Thiciana S.; Torres,Maria Conceição M.; Costa-Lotufo,Leticia V.; Rocha,Danilo D.; Vasconcelos,Mayron A. deFive new diterpenes derivatives named as ornatin A, B, C, D and E, in addition to six known related diterpenes were isolated from the aerial parts of cultivated specimens of Plectranthus ornatus. The structures were elucidated using a combination of 1D/2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESIMS) and comparison with published NMR data of a...
Amphidinolide P from the Brazilian octocoral Stragulum bicolor
Sousa,Thiciana S.; Nuzzo,Genoveffa; Torres,Maria C.M.; Lopes,Norberto P.; Cutignano,Adele; Jimenez,Paula C.; Santos,Evelyne A.; Gomes,Bruno A.Abstract Dinoflagellates are an important source of unique bioactive secondary metabolites. Symbiotic species, commonly named zooxanthellae, transfer most of their photosynthetically fixed carbon to their host. The mutualistic relationship provides the organic metabolites used for energy production but there are very few reports of the role of the dinoflagellates in the production of secondary metabolites in th...
