Triterpenoid saponins from Anemone hupehensis.

Four triterpenoid saponins were isolated from Anemone hupehensis. On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence, two new saponins, hupehensis saponins D and E, were elucidated as 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1-->3)-beta-D-ribopyranosyl (1-->3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl oleanolic acid-28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside and 3-O-beta-D-glucopyransoyl (1-->3-beta-D-ribopyranosyl (1-->3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl hederagenin-28-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The two known saponins were identified as huzhangosides B and D.

[Studies on the triterpenes from Bemeuxia thibetica Decne].

Four triterpenes were isolated from the alcoholic extract of Bemeuxia thibetica Decne. A new triterpene, 16 alpha, 21 beta, 22 alpha, 28-tetrahydroxyolean-12-en-3-one, named bemeuxin (I), was identified on the basis of spectral evidences. The other three triterpenes were identified as 21-tigloylbarringtogenol C(II), 2 alpha, 3 alpha-dihydroxyursolic acid (III) and 2 alpha, 3 beta-dihydroxyursolic acid (IV).

Skin protection, Viton, and solubility parameters.

Permeation is a function of diffusion and solubility of the solvent/polymer system. A physical-chemical constant that has been used previously to predict solubility is the three-dimensional solubility parameter (3-DSP). This paper reports a method for calculating the 3-DSP for the polymer Viton, new permeation data for Viton and 14 solvents, and the application of the 3-DSP to a model for predicting permeation parameters. The 3-DSP values for Viton (J/cc)1/2 were dispersion = 17.0, polar = 10.6, and hydrogen bonding = 6.1. A correlation coefficient of 0.65 was obtained when the natural log of breakthrough time for 19 solvents was regressed against the differences of the 3-DSP's for these 19 solvents and Viton. A value of 0.69 was obtained for the natural log of the permeation rate vs 16 solvent-Viton 3-DSP differences. While the variance unaccounted for in these regression tests does not allow quantitative prediction of permeation parameters, qualitative prediction of polymer suitability is possible.

Effect of polybasic acids on structure of aluminum hydroxycarbonate gel.

The effect of oxalic acid, citric acid, and their sodium salts on the structure of aluminum hydroxycarbonate gel was studied to illustrate the various mechanisms by which polybasic acids interact with aluminum hydroxycarbonate gel. Analysis of changes in the pH-stat titrigram, the carbonate to aluminum ratio, the aluminum content of the supernate following centrifugation, and the adsorption of the organic solute indicates that polybasic acids may: (a) partially neutralize the aluminum hydroxycarbonate gel by a general acid effect, (b) modify the aluminum hydroxycarbonate surface by adsorption of the anionic form of the polybasic acid, (c) extract aluminum by the formation of a soluble complex, and (d) lead to the precipitation of a new crystalline phase.
