New norditerpenoid alkaloids from Aconitum falconeri.

The roots of Aconitum falconeri have yielded two new norditerpenoid alkaloids, faleoconitine (1) and 3'-methoxyacoforestinine (2) along with the known compounds, karakoline, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one, and 3,4-dimethoxymethylbenzoate, which have been isolated for the first time from this plant. The previously reported pseudaconitine (3) was also isolated. Compounds 1 and 3 were found to be moderate inhibitors of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase.

A arylnaphthalene lignan from Haplophyllum buxbaumii.

Haplophyllum buxbaumii has yielded a new diphyllin glycoside, which was characterized as 4-O-{bis-alpha-L-xylopyranosyl (1-->2, 1-->5) beta-D-apiofuranosyloxy}-6,7-dimethoxy-1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid lactone. Taiwanin-H is also reported for the first time from a member of the Rutaceae.

A succinylanthranilic acid ester and other bioactive constituents of Jolyna laminarioides.

Methyl 2-[propanamide-2'-methoxycarbonyl] benzoate, fucosterol, trans-phytol and p-formylphenol were isolated for the first time from a methanolic extract of Jolyna laminarioides. Methyl 2-[propanamide-2'-methoxycarbonyl]-benzoate exhibited chymotrypsin inhibitory activity and also found to be active against Escherichia coli and Shigella boydii. Fucosterol exhibited antifungal activity against Curvularia lunata, Stachybotrys atra and Microsporum canis.
