RESUMO
Five new crotofolanes, named crotocascarins R-V (1-5), one rearranged trinorcrotofolane, crotocascarin δ, and one phorbol derivative were isolated from the EtOAc-soluble fraction of the MeOH extract of the leaves of Croton cascarilloides. Crotocascarins R (1), T (3), and U (4) possessed isobutyric acid as an acyl moiety and crotocascarin B (2) an acetyl group, whereas crotocascarin V (5) was elucidated to be a hydroxylated compound of crotocascarin K at the 9-position. Crotocascarin δ (6) was a trinor rearranged crotofolane with a tertiary hemiketal functional group at the 8-position. The absolute configuration of the 8-position was determined by the comparison of the experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectrum and calculated ECD spectra. Compound 7 was a phorbol ester derivative with a peroxide functional group. The fatty acid attached at the 12-position was found to be a single species-i.e., lauric acid (C-12)-from the evidence of the mass spectral data.

From the leaves of Zanthoxylum ailanthoides, four new phenolic glucosides, termed zanthosides A-D (1-4), were isolated. Their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic evidence. Zanthoside A was enzymatically hydrolyzed and thus the aglycone obtained was found to be (1'S,2'R)-(-)-trans-decursidinol, isolated from Angelica decursiva.

Eight alkylated benzoquinone derivatives, named ardisiaquinones A-H, were isolated together with four known compounds from the leaves of Ardisia quinquegona using a combination of different chromatography techniques. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopy and by the preparation of methyl ethers. Anti-Leishmania activity and cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds were assayed. Some compounds showed moderate anti-Leishmania activity, however, always associated with cytotoxicity.

From the EtOAc-soluble fraction of a MeOH extract of the leaves of Breynia officinalis, five new compounds (1-5) along with 11 known compounds (6-16) were isolated. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and compounds 1-3 were found to be acylated hydroquinone apiofuranosylglucopyranosides, while compound 4 was an acylated hydroquinone glucopyranoside. Compound 5 was shown to be butyl p-coumarate and this seems to be its first isolation from a natural source. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of all of the isolated compounds was assayed, and the activity was significant in p-coumarate derivatives. The most active compound, compound 3, also inhibited melanogenesis in an in vivo whole animal model, zebrafish.

From the stems of Croton cascarilloides, eight new diterpenoids, named crotocascarins A-H (1-8), having a crotofolane skeleton were isolated along with two new nor-diterpenoids (9 and 10), named crotocascarins α and ß, derived through rearrangement of the crotofolane skeleton. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by means of extensive one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic analyses. The absolute structures of the diterpene moiety were determined by application of the circular dichroism (CD) rule for the γ-lactone ring. The relative structures of the two crotofolanes (1 and 2) and one rearranged compound (9) were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analyses. Compounds 1, 2 and 9 possessed 2-methylbutyric acid in their molecules, the absolute configuration of which was found to be 2S by comparison of its HPLC behavior with that of an authentic sample. Therefore, the absolute structures of these crotocascarins (1, 2 and 9) were unambiguously determined. The absolute structures of crotofolanes are reported for the first time in this paper.

Six cycloartane glycosides, named tareciliosides N-S, and a known iridoid glucoside, ixoroside, were isolated in further extensive studies on the 1-BuOH-soluble fraction of a MeOH extract of the leaves of Tarenna gracilipes. From the EtOAc-soluble fraction, three known triterpenes were isolated. Their toxicities toward A549 and Leishmania major trypanosome protozoa were assayed. Triterpenes were selectively active in the two organisms.

Phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Fraxinus griffithii has led to the isolation of two new glucosylated acyclic sesquiterpene alcohols, griffithosides D (1) and E (2), along with iridoid and secoiridoid glycosides. The molecular structures of these compounds were elucidated using NMR, MS and other spectroscopic techniques, as well as comparison with literature data. The isolated compounds were tested for radical-scavenging activity and cytotoxicity against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells and Leishmania major parasites.

From a 1-BuOH-soluble fraction of the MeOH extract of the leaves of Crotalaria zanzibarica collected in the Okinawa Islands, three new megastigmane glucosides, named crotalionosides A-C, two new pterocarpan glucosides and a chalcone C-glucoside were isolated together with two known flavonoid glycosides and one known megastigmane glucoside. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of allenic megastigmane glucosides were determined by application of the modified Mosher's method. Those of the allenic moieties were determined by interpretation of the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the reduction products derived from citrosides A and B. The aglycones of pterocarpan glucosides were found to be melilotocarpan B and the absolute structure of the chalcone C-glucoside was determined by comparison of the CD spectral behavior with the reported values.
