RESUMO
Four new (1-4), along with six known (5-10) dihydro-ß-agarofuran sesquiterpene polyesters were isolated from the whole plants of Parnassia wightiana. The new compounds were structurally elucidated through spectroscopic analysis including UV (Ultraviolet Spectrum), IR (Infrared Spectrum), ¹H-NMR (¹Hydrogen-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), ¹³C-NMR (¹³Carbon-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), DEPT (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer), ¹H-¹H COSY (¹H-¹H Correlation Spectroscopy), HSQC (Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence), HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation), NOESY (Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy) and HR-MS (High Resolution Mass Specttrum) and their absolute configurations were proposed by comparison of NOESY spectra and specific optical rotations with those of known compounds and biosynthesis grounds. Compound 2 is the first sesquiterpene alkaloid isolated from this plant. New compounds 1-4 exhibited some cytotoxic activities against NB4, MKN-45 and MCF-7 cells at 20 µM and of which 4 showed the highest activity against NB4 and MKN-45 cells with inhibition rates of 85.6% and 30.5%, respectively.

BACKGROUND: Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNBs) are rare and characterized by papillary growth within the bile duct lumen. IPNB is similar to obstructive biliary pathology. In this report, we present an unexpected case of asymptomatic IPNB and consolidate our findings with the relevant literature to augment our understanding of this condition. Integrating relevant literature contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the disease. CASE SUMMARY: A 66-year-old Chinese male patient was admitted to our hospital for surgical intervention after gallstones were discovered during a routine physical examination. Preoperative imaging revealed a lesion on the left side of the liver, which raised the suspicion of IPNB. A laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy was performed, and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of IPNB. At the 3-mo postoperative follow-up, the patient reported good recovery and no metastasis. IPNB can manifest both latently and asymptomatically. Radical surgical resection is the most effective treatment for IPNB. CONCLUSION: Hepatic and biliary masses, should be considered to diagnose IPNB. Prompt surgery and vigilant follow-up are crucial in determining prognosis.
RESUMO
The title compound, C(16)H(14)Cl(2)O(4)S, was obtained by the reaction of eugenol (4-allyl-2-meth-oxy-phenol) and 3,4-dichloro-benzene-sulfonyl chloride. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings in the mol-ecule is 40.53â (4)°. No significantly short inter-molecular contacts are observed in the crystal structure.
RESUMO
Thirty-four new 2-aryl-6-chloro-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2-ium bromides were synthesized, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Antifungal activities against Alternaria alternate, Curvularia lunata and Valsa mali were evaluated by the mycelium linear growth rate method. SAR was discussed also. All compounds showed some activity against each of the fungi at 25 µg/mL. Compared to azoxystrobin, a commercial fungicide, 31 out of 34 test compounds showed higher inhibition rates against C. lunata and 10 were more effective against A. alternate and V. mali. Compounds 5-4, 5-2 and 5-34 showed the highest activity against A. alternate (EC50 = 10.3 µg/mL), C. lunata (EC50 = 4.6 µg/mL) and V. mali (EC50 = 3.9 µg/mL), respectively, superior to azoxystrobin (EC50 = 12.8, 71.9, 37.2 µg/mL). Compound 5-4 displayed good activities against each of the fungi with EC50 of 10.3, 4.7, and 18.0 µg/mL while 5-34 displayed excellent activities against V. mali (EC50 = 3.9 µg/mL) and C. lunata (EC50 = 5.8 µg/mL). The SAR showed that the type and position of substituents on the C-ring had significant effects on the activity. Generally, the presence of 2'-F, 4'-F or 2'-CH3 could significantly improve the activities, whereas OH, OMe, NO2 or CF3 groups decreased the activities. Thus, it was concluded that the present research provided a new series of 2-aryl-6-chloro-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2-iums with excellent antifungal potency, and the results were of importance for the structure optimization design, synthesis and development of more potent isoquinoline antifungal agents.
