Phytochemical investigation of the MeOH extract of the leaves of Nelumbo nucifera resulted in the isolation of five norsesquiterpenes, four flavonoids, two triterpenes and one alkaloid. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods to be (E)-3-hydroxymegastigm-7-en-9-one (1), (3S,5R,6S,7E)- megastigma-7-ene-3,5,6,9-tetrol (2), dendranthemoside B (3), icariside $B_2$ (4), sedumoside $F_1$ (5), luteolin (6), quercetin 3-0-${\beta}$-D-glucuronide (7), quercetin 3-0-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (8), isorhamnetin 3-0-rutinoside (9), alphitolic acid (10), maslinic acid (11), and N-methylasimilobine (12). Norsesquiterpenoids (1-5) and triterpenes (10-11) were isolated for the first time from this plant.

Bioactivity guided phytochemical study of the petroleum ether and butanol extracts of Clematis hirsuta resulted in the isolation of 12 compounds. Rat paw edema as a model of acute inflammation was used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of the extracts and the chromatographic fractions. Five known sterols and triterpenes namely: ${\beta}-amyrin$ (1), lupeol (2), ${\beta}-sitosterol$ (3), oleanolic acid (4) and stigmasterol glycoside (5) were isolated from the petroleum ether extract. The n-butanol extract afforded two compounds reported for the first time from natural source: (S)-(+)-dihydro-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2(3H)-furanone (7) and (s)-(-)-5-hydroxymethyl-2(5H)-furanone (8). In addition, anemonin (6), dihydro-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2(3H)-furanone (2-deoxy-D-ribono-1,4-lactone) (9), biophenol (cimidahurin) (10), glucose (11) and sucrose (12) were also identified. The structures were determined from spectroscopic data including 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments.

Three known lupane-triterpenes, 3a-hydroxy-lup-20(29)-en-23,28-dioic acid (1), 3$\alpha$-hydroxylup-20(29)-en-23,28-dioic acid 28-Ο-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1$\rightarrow4)-\beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1\rightarow6)-\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl ester (acankoreoside A, 2) and $3\alpha$, $11\alpha$-dihydroxy-23-oxo-lup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid (3) were isolated from the leaves of Brassaiopsis glomerulata (Blume) Regel, a species of Araliaceae family growing in Vietnam. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data.

Four new lanostane-type triterpenes were isolated from CH$_2$Cl$_2$ fraction of Ganoderma applanatum (Polyporaceae). There structures were determined as (20S)-3${\beta}$, 7${\beta}$, 20,23ζ-tetrahydroxy-1l,15-dioxolanosta-8-en-26-oic acid, (20S)-7${\beta}$,20,23ζ- trihydroxy-3,1l,15-trioxolanosta-8-en-26-oic acid, 7${\beta}$,23ζ-dihydroxy-3,11,15- trioxolanosta-8,20E(22)-dien-26-oic acid, and 7${\beta}$-hydroxy-3, 11,15,23-tetraoxolanosta-8,20E(22)-dien-26-oic acid methyl ester on the basis of spectral data.

Diospyros burmanica Kurz. is an evergreen deciduous tree distributed in Mandalay of Myanmar, which belongs to the family of Ebenaceae. In Myanmar, it has been used to treat diarrhea, diabetes, diabetes and also as lumbers. In this study, seven flavonoids (1 - 7), a phenolic compound (8), and five triterpenes (9 - 13) were isolated from the barks of D. burmanica and their chemical structures were elucidated. Isolates were identified to be (+)-catechin (1), (+)-catechin 3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside (2), (+)-catechin 3-O-gallate (3), (-)-epicatechin (4), (-)-epicatechin 3-O-gallate (5), (+)-afzelechin 3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside (6), (+)-2,3-trans-dihydrokaempferol 3-O-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranoside (7), methyl gallate (8), lupeol (9), methyl lup-20(29)-en-3-on-28-oate (10), $\beta$-amyrin (11), $\alpha$-amyrin (12), $3\beta$-hydroxy-D:B-friedo-olean-5-ene (13) through MS, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic evidences.

Background: Root rot is a serious destructive disease of Panax notoginseng, a famous cultivated araliaceous herb called Sanqi or Tianqi in Southwest China. Methods: The chemical substances of Sanqi rot roots were explored by chromatographic techniques. MS, 1D/2D-NMR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction were applied to determine the structures. Murine macrophage RAW264.7 and five human cancer cell lines were used separately for evaluating the antiinflammatory and cytotoxic activities. Results and Conclusion: Thirty dammarane-type triterpenes and saponins were isolated from the rot roots of P. notoginseng. Among them, seven triterpenes, namely, 20(S)-dammar-25-ene-24(S)-hydroperoxyl-3β,6α,12β,20-tetrol (1), 20(S)-dammar-3-oxo-23-ene-25-hydroperoxyl-6α,12β,20-triol (2), 20(S)-dammar-12-oxo-23-ene-25-hydroperoxyl-3β,6α,20-triol (3), 20(S)-dammar-3-oxo-23-ene-25-hydroperoxyl-12β,20-diol (4), 20(S),24(R)-epoxy-3,4-seco-dammar-25-hydroxy-12-one-3-oic acid (5), 20(S),24(R)-epoxy-3,4-seco-dammar-25-hydroxy-12-one-3-oic acid methyl ester (6), and 6α-hydroxy-22,23,24,25,26,27-hexanordammar-3,12,20-trione (7), are new compounds. In addition, 12 known ones (12-16 and 19-25) were reported in Sanqi for the first time. The new Compound 1 showed comparable antiinflammatory activity on inhibition of NO production to the positive control, whereas the known compounds 9, 12, 13, and 16 displayed moderate cytotoxicities against five human cancer cell lines. The results will provide scientific basis for understanding the chemical constituents of Sanqi rot roots and new candidates for searching antiinflammatory and antitumor agents.
