As part of our continuing phytochemical investigations of plants from arid environments in Chile, the aerial parts of Greigia sphacelata were examined. Two novel flavanones, 5,7,3'-trihydroxy-6, 4',5'-trimethoxyflavanone (1) and 5,3'-dihydroxy-6,7,4', 5'-tetramethoxyflavanone (2), as well as eight known compounds-1, 3-O-di-trans-p-coumaroylglycerol...
Four taraxastane triterpenes, 3 beta-acetoxy-6 beta-hydroxytaraxasta-20-ene, 6 beta-hydroxytaraxasta-20-en-3-one, 6 beta-hydroxytaraxasta-20-ene 3 beta-palmitate and 3 beta,6 beta-dihydroxytaraxasta-20-ene were isolated from the dichloromethane-methanol extract of Chuquiraga ulicina ssp. ulicina together with the known triterpenes lupeol, lupenyl a...
Screening of plants from South America for antitubercular activity and subsequent assay-guided fractionation resulted in the isolation and characterization of several pentacyclic triterpenoids. The MIC values of 22 triterpenoids were determined using the radiorespiratory BACTEC assay and range from 8 microM to above 128 microM. The structure-activi...
