RESUMEN
Phytochemical investigation of Walsura trichostemon leaves led to the isolation of a new apotirucallane-type triterpenoid, 11,25-dideacetyl-16-hydroxytrichostemonate (1), along with two known apotirucallane-type triterpenoids (2 and 3), two known tirucallane-type triterpenes (4 and 5), and two known steroids (6 and 7). Their structures were identified by intensive analysis of 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, and mass spectrometry data, which were compared with data reported in the literature. Compounds 2, 3, and 5 exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value: 64â µg/mL), and compound 4 showed weak antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa (MIC: 128â µg/mL). Furthermore, compound 5 displayed activity against Bacillus cereus (MIC: 64â µg/mL). In addition, compound 4 showed stronger α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than the control, acarbose. The active compound 4 was subjected to molecular docking experiments using AutoDock4 and revealed precise interactions with the active gorge of the enzyme through hydrogen bonding, supporting the inâ vitro results.
RESUMEN
The first phytochemical investigation from the stems of Croton krabas resulted in the isolation of three new ent-clerodane diterpenoids, crotonkrabases A-C (1-3), along with two known compounds, 12-oxohardwickiic acid (4) and crotonpyrone B (5). Their structures were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic methods. The structure of 3 was unambiguously proven by X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, the absolute configurations of compounds 1-3 were identified by NOESY and the comparison of their experimental ECD spectra with those of calculated ECD spectra reported in the literature. Compounds 1, 2, and 5 showed antibacterial activities against two Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis); whereas compound 4 exhibited weak antibacterial against B. cereus. In addition, compound 4 showed potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, which was lower than the reference standard acarbose.

Two new aromadendrin rhamnosides, cissusfoliate A (1) and 3-epi-cissusfoliate A (2) together with seven known compounds (3-9) were isolated from the roots of Cissus rheifolia Planch. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of compounds 1-5 were assigned by combination of the J coupling constant values of H-2 and H-3 and the comparison of their experimental ECD spectra with those reported in literature. Compounds 1, 3 and 5-8 showed antioxidant effects on ORAC, ATBS and DPPH assays as well as antibacterial activity against six pathogenic bacterial strains. Their cytotoxicity against Hela, KB, MCF-7, HepG2 and HT-29 cell lines were also evaluated.

A new plumbagin derivative, 3-(5-oxohexyl)plumbagin (1), together with six known benzoquinone derivatives (2-7), four known triterpenoids (8-11) and coniferyl aldehyde (12) were isolated from Diospyros undulata roots. Their structures were elucidated by intensive spectroscopy including 1 D and 2 D NMR, UV, IR and MS spectrometric analysis. Compound 1 exhibited strong cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines as lung cancer (NCI-H187), breast cancer (MCF-7), and oral cancer (KB) with IC50 values of 7.16, 12.85 and 28.67 µM, respectively. Moreover, it did not showed cytotoxicity to Vero cells. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of compound 1 was moderate that kill only S. aureus with MBC of 250 µg/mL while other compounds especially compound 4 showed a broader activity that kill all tested bacteria.

A new (naphthalenyl)methyl acetate, (1,4,5-trimethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methyl acetate (1) and (±)-4,5-dihydroxy-2-methyltetralone (2) were isolated together with five lupane triterpenes (3-7), naphthoquinone derivatives (8-13), coumarins (14 and 15) and a vanillic acid (16) from the stems of Diospyros ehretioides. Their structures were established through spectroscopic analysis, IR, 1D and 2D NMR. Both 1 and 2 displayed significant cytotoxicity against three cancer cell lines including HeLa, HCT116 and MCF-7, with IC50 values in the range of 5.05-15.90 µg/mL, while 16 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against HeLa and HCT116 cell lines and was not toxic to Vero cells.

The chemical investigation of the methanol extract of Hymenodictyon orixense bark, a Thai medicinal herb, provided five compounds. Their structures were identified on the basis of 1D NMR and MS data, as well as by comparison of the data with published values, as an iridoid glycoside: loganin (1), four coumarins: scopoletin (2), scopolin (3), hymexelsin (4) and scopoletin 7-O-ß-D-xylopyranosyl-(1â6)-ß-D-glucopyranoside (5). Compounds 1-5 showed acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity in the range of 13.92-34.18% at a concentration of 100 µg/mL. In addition, compounds 1 and 5 are reported for the first time from this genus.
