New saponins with hypoglucaemic activity (1–4) and momordin Ic (5) have been isolated from the methanolic extract of the leaves of Boussingaultiabaselloides. They were shown by spectroscopy and chemical transformation to be derivatives of 12,20(29)-dien-30-noroleanic acid. Boussingoside A1 (1) exhibits very strong hypoglucaemic activity in rats. Acid hydrolysis of the saponin 1 yielded five transformation products (6–10), though one of them (larreagenin A (6), which has been reported in the literature as a genuine plant metabolite) is considered to be an artifact formed by the acid treatment. Keywords: Boussingaultiabaselloides, Basellaceae, boussingosides, triterpenoid saponins, hypoglucaemic activity.

Abstract A new HPTLC-densitometric method for diosgenin determination in fenugreek seeds was established after optimization of the conditions for efficient saponin extraction and acid hydrolysis. Several procedures were tested, the best of which was a three-step Soxhlet extraction, followed by hydrolysis of the obtained methanolic extract with 2 mol L-1 H2SO4. Best diosgenin separation from other hydrolysis products was obtained on HPTLC Si60F254 plates u sing a mixture of n-heptane/ethyl acetate (7:3, V/V) and modified anisaldehyde as a spraying reagent. The method was preliminarily validated and the determined amounts of diosgenin in fenugreek seeds of Polish and African origin were found to be similar and ranged from 0.12-0.18 %.

The ethyl acetate soluble part of a methanolic extract of the marine green alga Codium iyengarii, collected from the Karachi coast of the Arabian Sea, afforded four new derivatives of glycerol named : codioside A,B,C,D (1-4), a new derivative of frans-phytol named codioester (5) and rrans-phytol (6). The structures of 1 -5 were elucidated with the aid of acid hydrolysis, methylation, GC-MS, and spectroscopy. The structure of 1 was confirmed through the HMBC NMR technique and the structures of compounds 2 -4 were based on the assignments made for 1

Syntheses of 1'-chloro-1'-deoxy- and 1'-deoxy-sucrose are described. Several routes were investigated, the most successful being through 6,1',6'-tri-O-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonyl)sucrose. Attempts to prepare 1'-deoxy-1'-fluorosucrose were unsuccessful. The rates of the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of 1'-chloro-1'-deoxysucrose and of 1'- deoxysucrose have been measured. These values are compared with that for sucrose itself. The mechanism of the hydrolyses is discussed.

3-(2-Furyl)propenoates IV-VIII were obtained by treatment of 5-phenoxy-2-furylmethylene derivatives I-III with alcoholic hydrogen chloride in one step. The probable transition mechanism of synthons I-III into the 2,4,5-trisubstituted furans is presented. The geometric isomers E-IV, Z-V and Z-VI, isolated in pure form, were transformed into the corresponding acids E-IX, Z-IX and E-X by base-catalyzed hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis of the 1,3-diketone I afforded (4Z,6Z)-6-acetyl-7-hydroxy-2,4,6-octatrien-4-olide (XI). Structure of the products was verified by spectral (IR, UV, NMR and mass) methods.

Partial hydrolysis of per-O-acetyl- and per-O-benzoyl derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose with methanolic hydrogen chloride and hydrazine hydrate was investigated. The acyl group at C(3) is of substantial influence on the course of hydrolysis. The esterified hydroxyl group at C(3) was found to be most stable on acid hydrolysis with methanolic hydrogen chloride when compared with that at C(2), or C(4); on the other hand, this ester group is the most labile upon hydrolysis with hydrazine hydrate. Selectivity of the respective ester groups towards hydrolysis made it possible to prepare all variations of acetyl and benzoyl derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose.

The (R)- and (S)-N-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl) derivatives of purine and pyrimidine bases (PMP derivatives) exhibit very high activity against retroviruses. This paper describes the synthesis of enantiomeric 9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)adenines (I and XXVII), 9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)-2,6-diaminopurines (II and XXXI), 9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)guanines (III and XXIX) and 1-(R)-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)cytosine (XIX) by alkylation of N-protected N-(2-hydroxypropyl) derivatives of the corresponding bases with bis(2-propyl) p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonate (X), followed by stepwise N- and O-deprotection of the intermediates. The key intermediates, N-(2-hydroxypropyl) derivatives IX and XXV, were obtained by alkylation of the appropriate heterocyclic base with (R)- or (S)-2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)propyl p-toluenesulfonate (VII or XXIII) and acid hydrolysis of the resulting N-[2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)propyl] derivatives VIII and XXII. The chiral synthons were prepared by tosylation of (R)- or (S)-2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)propanol (VI or XXI) available by reduction of enantiomeric alkyl 2-O-tetrahydropyranyllactates V and XXI with sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride. This approach was used for the synthesis of cytosine, adenine and 2,6-diaminopurine derivatives, while compounds derived from guanine were prepared by hydrolysis of 2-amino-6-chloropurine intermediates. Cytosine derivative IXe was also synthesized by alkylation of 4-methoxy-2-pyrimidone followed by ammonolysis of the intermediate IXf.
