A new ent-kaurane diterpene from stems of Alibertia macrophylla K. Schum. (Rubiaceae)

Phytochemical investigations of the stems of a specimen of Alibertia macrophylla led to the isolation and characterization of the new diterpene ent-kaurane-2β,3α,16α-triol (1), along with triterpenes 2-8, iridoids 9-12, and phenolic acids 13-15. The structure of 1 was established based on spectroscopic studies (1H- and 13C-NMR, IR, and HR-ESI-MS). This is the first report of the isolation of a diterpene from the Alibertia genus in Rubiaceae. © 2007 Verlag Helvetica Chimica Acta AG.

Esteroide e Triterpenos de espécies de Qualea: bioatividade sobre Mycobacterium tuberculosis

The chloroform extract of bark of the tropical tree Qualea parviflora (Vochysiaceae) was fractionated by column chromatography on silica gel, yielding triterpenes (lupeol, lupenone, betulin, epi-betulinic acid and friedelin) and a steroid (β-sitosterol). β-sitosterol, lupenone and lupeol were also identified in Q. grandiflora and Q. multiflora, while friedelin was detected only in Q. Multiflora, by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity of the chloroform extract and isolated compounds was assayed by MABA and MIC values ranged from 250.0 to 31.2 µg/mL. This study is the first to investigate the chemistry and antitubercular activity of apolar compounds from Qualea species.

Caffeic acid esters and triterpenes of Alibertia macrophylla

A hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves of Alibertia macrophylla afforded the esters of caffeic acid and 2-phenylethanol or 2-methyl butane-1,4-diol. The leaves also contain caffeic acid. The acetone extract of the stems of A. macrophylla contain α-amyrin, β-amyrin, α-amyrenone, β-amyrenone, lupeol, lupenone and germanicone. Structural assignments were taken through spectral data analysis and physical properties. This is the first report on the chemistry of Alibertia. © 1991.
