A new 12a-dehydrorotenoid 1, 11-dihydroxy-9, 10-methylenedioxy-12a-dehydrorotenoid (1), together with a new isoflavonoid glycoside tectorigenin-7-O-${\beta}$-glucosyl-4'-O-${\beta}$-glucoside (3), were isolated and identified from the rhizomes of I. spuria (Zeal). In addition, 4 known compounds, tectorigenin (2) tectorigenin-7-O-${\beta}$-glucosyl $(1{\leftrightarrow}6)$ glucoside (4), tectoridin (a tectorigenin- 7-O-${\beta}$-glucoside) (5) and tectorigenin-4'-O-${\beta}$-glucoside (6) were isolated and identified for the first time from this plant. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, $^1H,\;^{13}C$NMR, DEPT, HMQC, NOESY, and HMBC experiments and MS spectrometry) and by comparison with literature data of known compounds. Compounds 2, 4, 5, and 6 are reported for the first time from this plant through the present study.

The reaction of t-butylithium with chlorodiphenylvinylsilane at low temperatures in hexane gave a 52% yield of the two isomeric 1,1,3,4-tetraphenyl-2,4-dineopenty-1,3-disilacyclo butanes mixture, formed by a head-to-tail dimerization of 1,1-diphenyl-2-neopentylsilene intermediate. In the presence of the trapping agents such as trimethylmethoxysilane and anthracene, the expected trapped adducts, 1-methoxy-l,l-diphenyl-2-trimethylsilyl-4,4-dimethyl-1-silapentane and 2,2-diphenyl-3-neopentyl-(5,6 : 7,8)-dibenzo-2-silabicyclo-(2.2.2)-octane, were obtained in 74% and 46% yields, respectively. These products were separated and their stereochemistry were assigned on the basis of $^1H$- and $^{13}C$-NMR data.

Chrysanthemum boreale Makino (C. boreale) is widely distributed in Asian countries, and has traditionally been used to treat various inflammatory diseases including bronchitis. In this study, we aimed to isolate biologically active compounds from leaves and stems of C. boreale. Chemical components were purified by column chromatograpy and recyclic HPLC, and characterized from their spectral data (IR, MS, NMR). Biological activity experiments were conducted for Farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) activity, apoptosis and nitirc oxide (NO) release. As a results, three sesquiterpene lactones were isolated. Compound 1 (4-methoxy-8-O-acetyl-10-hydroxy-2,11(13)-guaiadiene-12,6-olide) showed strong cytotoxic activities having an average growth inhibition of 50% ($GI_{50}$) value of $1.89{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ against human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Compound 1 also showed a low half maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) value of $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ for NO release. In the caspase 3 activity, compound 1 and compound 2 (8-O-(2-carbonyl-2-butyl)-3,10-dihydroxy-4,11(13) -guaiadiene-12,6-olide) exhibited 94% and 90% apoptosis inhibition activity, respectively. Compound 3 (4,8-O-diacetyl -10-hydroxy-2(3),11(13)-guaiadiene-12,6-olide) showed a strong inhibitory effect on FPTase activity with 90% inhibitory activity at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. These results clearly show the presence of lactone compounds in the leaves and stems, which may partially contribute to the pharmacological activity of C. boreale.

The antioxidative activity of Alpinia oxyphylla was investigated through measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and inhibitory activity for linoleic acid peroxidation. Two antioxidative diarylheptanoids, yakuchinone A (1) and oxyphyllacinol (2), were isolated from the fruits of A. oxyphylla using thin layer chromatography (TLC) autographic assays. The DPPH scavenging activities of the compounds ($IC_{50}=1$, $57{\pm}2.1\;{\mu}M$; 2, $89{\pm}3.1\;{\mu}M$) were lower than vitamin C ($IC_{50}=51{\pm}1.1\;{\mu}M$), but higher than butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, $IC_{50}=99{\pm}2.2\;{\mu}M$). Also, inhibitory activities for linoleic acid peroxidation of the compounds ($IC_{50}=1$, $0.19{\pm}0.011\;mM$; 2, $0.31{\pm}0.009\;mM$) were higher than those of vitamin C ($IC_{50}=0.59{\pm}0.017\;mM$) and BHT ($IC_{50}=0.52{\pm}0.014\;mM$). In addition the $^{13}C-NMR$ data of oxyphyllacinol (2) have been first reported in this paper.

New poly(arylene-ethynylene)s with silicon-containing ferrocene moiety in the polymer main chain were synthesized via the C-C bond forming reactions of 1,1´-bis(ethynyldimethylsilyl)ferrocene and various aromatic dihalides in high yields. The aromatic dihalides include 1,4-dibromobenzene, 4,4´-dibromobiphenyl, 9,10-dibromoanthracene, 2,5-dibromopyridine, 2,5-dibromothiophene, and 2,6-diiodo-4-nitroaniline. The polymer structures and properties were characterized by such instrumental methods as NMR $(^1H-,\;^{13}C-,\;and\;^{29}Si-)$, IR, UV-visible spectroscopies and TGA/DSC. The spectral data indicated that the present polymers have the regular alternating structure of 1,1´-bis(ethynyldimethylsilyl)ferrocenylene and arylene units. The resulting polymers were completely soluble in such organic solvents as methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, chlorobenzene, and THF. The thermal behaviors of the resulting polymers were examined.

Two oleanane-type triterpenes (1, 2) and their glycosides (4-6), and one ursane-type triterpene (3) have been isolated from a methanolic extract of Patrinia saniculaefolia Hemsley (Valerianaceae) through repeated silica gel and reversed-phase C-18 column chromatography. Their chemical structures were determined as oleanolic acid (1), oleanonic acid (2), 23-hydroxyursolic acid (3), 3-O-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranosyl-oleanolic acid (4), 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl-oleanolic acid (5), and oleanolic acid 3-O-[${\alpha}$-D-xylopyranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}3$)-${\beta}$-D-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-butyl-ester] (6) on the basis of their MS, $^1H$-, and $^{13}C$-NMR spectral data. All compounds were isolated from the whole plant of the P. saniculaefolia for the first time. These compounds were examined for their anti-complement activity against the classical pathway of the complement system. Among them, compounds 1 - 3 exhibited anti-complement activity with $IC_{50}$ values of 470.1, 212.2, and 121.0 ${\mu}M$, respectively, whereas compounds 4 - 6 were inactive. These results suggest that the carbonyl or hydroxy group at C-3 in the oleananeand/or ursane-triterpenes are important for the anti-complement activity against the classical pathway.

25-Acetoxy-26,27,28-trimethoxycalix[4]arene was synthesized by the treatment of calix[4]arene trimethyl ether with acetyl chloride in the presence of NaH. The solution conformation was inferred as a partial cone conformation based on the $^1H$-and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra. The crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystals are monoclinic, space group $P2_1$/n, a=8.186 (1), b=17.137 (2), c=19.878 (3) ${\AA}$, ${\beta}$=95.67 (1)$^{\circ}$, Z=4, V=2774.90 ${\AA}^3$, $D_c$= 1.22 g $cm^{-3}$, $D_m$=1.23 g $cm^{-3}$. The intensity data were collected on an Enraf-Noninus CAD-4 Diffractometer with a graphite monochromated $Cu-K{\alpha}$ radiation. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to a final R value of 0.054 for 3675 observed reflections. The molecule possesses a partial cone conformation with one flattened phenyl unit, in which one anisol ring, distal to the ester ring, is inverted. The acetoxyphenyl ring is flattened.

Objectives: Semecarpus anacardium Linn. is a plant well-known for its antimicrobial, antidiabetic and anti-arthritic properties in the Ayurvedic and Siddha system of medicine. This has prompted the screening of this plant for antibacterial activity. The main aims of this study were to isolate compounds from the plant's seeds and to evaluate their antibacterial effects on clinical bacterial test strains. Methods: The n-butanolic concentrate of the seed extract was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) and repeated silica gel column chromatography followed by elution with various solvents. The compound was identified based on observed spectral (IR, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry) data. The well diffusion method was employed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of the isolated acyclic isoprenoid compound (final concentration: $5-15{\mu}g/mL$) on four test bacterial strains, namely, Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96), Bacillus cereus (MTCC 430), Escherichia coli (MTCC 1689) and Acinetobacter baumannii (MTCC 9829). Results: Extensive spectroscopic studies showed the structure of the isolated compound to be an acyclic isoprenoid ($C_{21}H_{32}O$). Moreover, the isoprenoid showed a remarkable inhibition of bacterial growth at a concentration of $15{\mu}g/mL$ compared to the two other doses tested (5 and $10{\mu}g/mL$) and to tetracycline, a commercially available antibiotic that was used as a reference drug. Conclusion: The isolation of an antimicrobial compound from Semecarpus anacardium seeds validates the use of this plant in the treatment of infections. The isolated compound found to be active in this study could be useful for the development of new antimicrobial drugs.
