RESUMO
Tecostanine (1) was isolated from Tecoma stans leaves. Its sterochemistry was elucidated as well as its antihyperglycemic activity and its affinity to opioid and nicotinic receptors. The oxalate salt of 1 did not significantly affect blood glucose levels in normoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic rats. It did not appear to interact with opioid receptors (mu type) and showed only moderate affinity to the nicotinic receptor.

Crude extracts of leaves and fruits of Guarea guidona were tested for antiviral activity against pseudorabies virus and foot-and-mouth disease virus in the IB-RS-2 pig cell line and against bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) in the GBK bovine cell line. The highest nontoxic doses of extracts from fruits and leaves were 125 micrograms/ml and 500 micrograms/ml. respectively. Crude extracts presented antiviral activity against pseudorabies virus with a decrease in virus titer of 3.0 log units at 500 micrograms/ml. Virucidal activity was not observed at 62.5 micrograms/ml. Preformed cell monolayers showed no cytotoxic effect after 48 h in the presence of 500 micrograms/ml in pig cells. G. guidona leaves did not induce an antiviral state but exhibited antiviral effects during the early stage of viral infection.

The highest nontoxic doses of extracts from fruits and leaves were 125 mug/ml and 500 mug/ml, respectively. Crude extracts presented antiviral activity against pseudorabies virus with a decrease in virus titer of 3.0 log units at 500 mug/ml. Virucidal activity was not observed at 62.5 mug/ml.

Two biflavonoids were isolated from the EtOH extract from leaves of Ouratea spectabilis. Their structures were established to be the novel 6,6"-bigenkwanin and 7,7"-dimethoxyagathisflavone on the basis of spectroscopic data. The inhibition of bovine lens aldose reductase exerted by these biflavones has been studied.
