In this study, we isolated from the aerial parts of Baccharis conferta Kunth (i) a new neoclerodane, denominated “bacchofertone”; (ii) four known terpenes: schensianol A, bacchofertin, kingidiol and oleanolic acid; and (iii) two flavonoids: cirsimaritin and hispidulin. All structures were identified by an exhaustive analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS). Extracts from aerial parts were screened for anti-inflammatory activity in the mice ear edema model of 12-O-tetradecanoylforbol-13-acetate mice. Dichloromethane extract (BcD) exhibited 78.5 ± 0.72% inhibition of edema, followed by the BcD2 and BcD3 fractions of 71.4% and 82.9% respectively, at a dose of 1 mg/ear. Kingidiol and cirsimaritin were the most potent compounds identified, with a median effective dose of 0.12 and 0.16 mg/ear, respectively. A histological analysis showed that the topical application of TPA promoted intense cell infiltration, and this inflammatory parameter was reduced with the topical application of isolated compounds.

Abstract Eight cyclosporine (CsA) metabolites were isolated from the urine of renal-transplant patients by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Structure and purity of the metabolites were assessed by fast atomic bombardment/mass spectroscopy, by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and, when the quantity of metabolites permitted, by 13C-NMR. The immunosuppressive activities (I) of the metabolites were tested in three separate in vitro systems: primary and secondary mixed lymphocyte reactions as well as by a mitogen-stimulated system. The I, as measured by comparing the concentration of each metabolite required for 50% inhibition of incorporation of [3H] thymidine, varied among the assay systems, as did the ranking of I among the test systems. In general, the I of most metabolites in all assay systems were less than 10% of that for CsA. Metabolites with single modifications exhibited the greatest I; e.g., that of M-17 was congruent to 16% of that of CsA (potency ratio 0.16) in a secondary mixed lymphocyte reaction. The significance of these findings in relation to therapeutic monitoring of CsA is discussed.

This work describes the new improvements of the SISlEMAT project, one system for structural elucidation mainly in the field of Natural Products Chemistry. Some examples of the resolution of problems using13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Mass Spectroscopy are given. Programs to discover new heuristic rules for structure generation are discussed. The data base contains about 100013C NMR spectra.

A highly diastereoselective method for the synthesis of novel spiro-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives is reported here, using a one-pot reaction method. All compounds were characterized by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy, and their stereo configurations were confirmed by X-ray analysis. These activities of these derivatives were then tested in human keratocyte cells. The responses of cells to treatment with selected compounds were studied using scratch analysis, and the compounds were tested in a mouse excision wound model. Three of the derivatives demonstrated significant wound-healing activities.

AbstractIn this review, we examine the state-of-the-art technologies (gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance, etc.) in the well-established area of metabolomics especially as they relate to protozoan parasites.

Listeria monocytogenes was found to contain polyprenols in a concentration of 215 mg/kg of lyophilized bacteria. They consisted mainly of undecaprenol with a small amount of decaprenol. Characterization by infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopy indicated that the undecaprenol had the same structure as that isolated from other bacteria.

Three new butenolide derivatives, namely aspernolides N–P (1–3), together with six known analogues (4–9), were isolated from the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract of the deep sea-derived fungus Aspergillus terreus YPGA10. The structures of compounds 1–3 were determined on the basis of comprehensive analyses of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopy (MS) data, and the absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by comparisons of experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) with calculated ECD spectra. Compound 1 represents the rare example of Aspergillus-derived butenolide derivatives featured by a monosubstituted benzene ring. Compounds 6–9 exhibited remarkable inhibitory effects against α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 3.87, 1.37, 6.98, and 8.06 μM, respectively, being much more active than the positive control acarbose (190.2 μM).
