- Sebestenoids A-D, BACE1 inhibitors from Cordia sebestena
-
Bioassay-guided fractionation of an extract prepared from the fruits of Cordia sebestena led to the isolation of sebestenoids A-D (1-4). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive NMR experiments and mass spectroscopic measurements. Compounds 1-4 exhibited moderate inhibition of the aspartic protease BACE1.

- Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (-)- trans -Blechnic Acid via Rhodium(II)-Catalyzed C-H Insertion and Palladium(II)-Catalyzed C-H Olefination Reactions
-
An asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-trans-blechnic acid, a dihydrobenzofuran neolignan, has been achieved. The key steps involve an elaboration of the cis-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran core structure by enantio- and diastereoselective intramolecular C-H insertion using dirhodium(II) tetrakis[N-phthaloyl-(R)-tert-leucinate] [Rh2(R-PTTL)4] and a direct coupling of an acrylate unit with the core structure employing Yu's palladium(II)-catalyzed intermolecular C-H olefination.

- Diastereomers of lithospermic acid and lithospermic acid B from Monarda fistulosa and Lithospermum erythrorhizon
-
Monardic acids A (1) and B (2), which are (7R,8R) diastereomers of lithospermic acid (LA) and lithospermic acid B, respectively, were isolated from Monarda fistulosa. A (7S,8R) isomer (3) of LA was also isolated from this plant, and a (7R,8S) isomer (7) of LA was obtained from Lithospermum erythrorhizon. The absolute configuration of 1 was confirmed by analysis of its hydrolysates, 7-epiblechnic acid and 2R-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2- hydroxypropanoic acid. The configuration in the dihydrobenzofuran moieties of 2, 3, and 7 was extrapolated by using the phenylglycine methyl ester method and a Cotton effect at approximately 250-260 nm in their electronic circular dichroism spectra. Diastereomers (1-3 and 7) displayed moderate hyaluronidase inhibitory and histamine release inhibitory activities.

- Chemical and chemotaxonomical studies of ferns. LXXXI. Characteristic lignans of blechnaceous ferns
-
Four lignans, blechnic acid (1), 7-epiblechnic acid (3), 8-epiblechnic acid (6) and brainic acid (2), were isolated from six Blechnaceous ferns, Blechnum orientale, Struthiopteris amabilis, S. niponica, Woodwardia orientalis, W. proilfera and Brainea insignis. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and chemical conversion.
