Profiling the Cymbopogon nardus Ethanol Extract and Its Antifungal Potential ag...
Toledo,Luciani G. de; Ramos,Matheus A. S.; Spósito,Larissa; Castilho,Elza M.; Pavan,Fernando R.; Lopes,Érica O.; Silva,Isabel C. da; Zocolo,Guilherme J.The essential oil of Cymbopogon nardus, citronella, has been extensively studied. However, the chemical and biological properties of the ethanolic extract (EE) of C. nardus have not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to characterize the chemical composition of the EE of C. nardus and its active fraction (FrD). Moreover, the cytotoxic and antifungal properties of these extracts against Candida species wit...
Clerodane diterpenes from leaves of Casearia sylvestris Swartz
Santos,André G. dos; Perez,Carla C.; Tininis,Aristeu G.; Bolzani,Vanderlan da S.; Cavalheiro,Alberto J.Ethanolic extracts of the leaves of Casearia sylvestris yielded a novel clerodane diterpene, 15-hydroxy-3-cleroden-2-one, together with the known diterpenes (-)-hardwickiic acid, reported for the first time from this species, and casearins B and G, previously isolated from C. sylvestris. The structures of all four compounds were determined by spectrometric analysis. The new clerodane diterpene and (-)-hardwicki...
