Alpinia katsumadai Hayata (Zingiberaceae) has been used as an anti-emetic medicine and to treat gastric disorders in Oriental Medicine. Previous phytochemical investigations of this plant have resulted in the isolation of various diarylheptanoids, kavalactones, flavonoids, stilbenes, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. Some of these compounds have antioxidant, anti-emetic, antiviral, and cytoprotective effects. This review paper discusses the structural characterization of the chemical constituents of A. katsumadai, as well as the biological activity of pure constituents of this plant material.

We reported the isolation and structural characterization of a new biogenetical related compounds, produced in cultures by various strains of Basidiomycetes of the genera Armillaria, Laurilia, Clitocybe and Clavicorona . The isolated metabolites are sesquiterpenoids containing the protoilludane ring system and are even correlated with some biological activity and biogenetic steps. We have analyzed the chemistry of the melleolides, sulcatines, tsugicolines and clavilactones. In particular, the spirolaxine, isolated from cultures of Sporotrichum laxum, is active on the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. Its structure was determined on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence and confirmed by X-ray analysis.

Nicotinamides are a class of compounds with a wide variety of applications, from use as antimicrobial agents to inhibitors of biological processes. These compounds are also cofactors, which are necessary components of metabolic processes. Structural modification gives rise to the activities observed. Similarly, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles have been shown to possess antioxidant, antimicrobial, or anti-inflammatory biological activity. To take advantage of each of the inherent characteristics of the two aforementioned functional groups, 2-nicotinamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole, C8H6N4OS, was synthesized. Since defining chemical connectivity is paramount in understanding biological activity, in this report, the structural characterization of 2-nicotinamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole has been carried out using X-ray crystallographic methods. The NMR-derived assignments were made possible by utilizing one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) NMR techniques. In addition, UV–Visible and IR spectroscopies, and elemental analysis were used to fully characterize the product synthesized by the one-step reaction between nicotinoyl chloride hydrochloride and 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole. Computational parameters related to blood–brain barrier permeability are also presented.

The title compounds 2-lactosylthio-3-alkyl/alkoxythieno [3,2-pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 5 were synthesized after the alcoholysis reaction of protected 2-lactosylthio-3-alkyl/alkoxythieno [3,2-pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 4 with the catalyst of ammonia water. The latters were synthesized from the materials ethyl 3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate 1 and alkyl/arylisothiocyanates through the thiourea intermediaters 2 and heterocyclic compounds 3. Structural characterization of the target compounds were researched and their biological activity evaluation were underway in our laboratories.

Characterization of Borrelia burgdorferi strains by means of negative staining EM has become an integral part of many studies related to the biology of the Lyme disease organism. However, relying solely upon negative staining to compare new isolates with prototype B31 or other borreliae is often unsatisfactory. To obtain more satisfactory results, we have relied upon a correlative approach encompassing a variety EM techniques, i.e., scanning for topographical features and cryotomy, negative staining and thin sectioning to provide a more complete structural characterization of B. burgdorferi.For characterization, isolates of B. burgdorferi were cultured in BSK II media from which they were removed by low speed centrifugation. The sedimented borrelia were carefully resuspended in stabilizing buffer so as to preserve their features for scanning and negative staining. Alternatively, others were prepared for conventional thin sectioning and for cryotomy using modified procedures. For thin sectioning, the fixative described by Ito, et al.
