ABSTRACT
Two new neolignan sesquiterpenoids, chevalierinol A (1) and chevalierinol B (2), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Magnolia chevalieri leaves, together with twelve known compounds (3-14). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data including 1D, 2D and mass spectra and compared with the reported data. Compounds 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10 were evaluated for their inhibitory effect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells.

This paper reports the chemical composition of essential oils obtained from Pinus dalatensis FerreÌ, Pinus kwangtungensis Chun ex. Tsiang and Pinus armandii subsp. xuannhaensis L.K. Phan. The oils were studied by gas chromatograpgy (GC) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main constituents of P. dalatensis were the terpene hydrocarbons namely α-pinene (38.2%), ß- pinene (25.3%), ß-myrcene (11.0%) and ß-caryophyllene (10.5%), while α-cedrol (19.2%) was the only significant compound of P. armandi subsp. xuannhaensis. P. kwangtungensis showed ß-pinene (26.3%), α-pinene (18.0%), limonene (16.1%) and ß-myrcene (10.4%) as the dominant compounds. The volatile constituents of P. dalatensis and P. armandi subsp. xuannhaensis are being reported for the first time.
En este artiÌculo se reportan los constituyentes quiÌmicos de los aceites esenciales de Pinus dalatensis FerreÌ, Pinus kwangtungensis Chun ex. Tsiang y Pinus armandii subsp. Xuannhaensis L.K. Phan que se analizaron mediante cromatografiÌa de Gases (GC) y por CromatografiÌa de Gases acoplada a la EspectrometriÌa de Masas (GC-EM). Los principales constituyentes de P. dalatensis fueron los hidrocarburos terpeÌnicos, a saber, α-pineno (38.2%), ß-pineno (25.3%), ß-mirceno (11.0%) y ß-cariofileno (10.5%). Por otro lado, α- cedrol (19.2%) fue el uÌnico compuesto significativo de P. armandi subsp. Xuannhaensis mientras que el aceite de P. kwangtungensis estuvo dominado por ß-pineno (26.3%), α-pineno (18.0%), limoneno (16.1%) y ß-mirceno (10.4%). Los constituyentes volaÌtiles de P. dalatensis y P. armandi subsp. xuannhaensis se informa por primera vez.

A new 3-methoxybenzensulfonic acid 4-0-0-D-glucopyranoside (1), and ten known compounds (2-11) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the stems of Mallotus microcarpus. The cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds was evaluated by the MTT method. 3-Methoxybenzensulfonic acid 4-Ο-ß-D- glucopyranoside (1) and methyl salicylate 2-rutinoside (5) showed strong cytotoxicity against EGFR-TKI-resistant human lung cancer A549 cells in comparison with camptothecin. Compound 1, leonuriside A (2), 3,4'-dihydroxypropiophenone 3-Ο-glucoside (6) and (lR,2S)-hovetrichoside A (10) inhibited the growth of human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line with IC50 values in the range of 0.48-1.78 µM. This is the first report on the chemical composition and cytotoxic activity of M microcarpus.

One new flavonol diglycoside, 4',5-dihydroxy-3,3',7-trimethoxyflavone 4'-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 6)-ß-D-glucopyranoside (1), and two known compounds (2-3) were isolated from the methanolic extract of Anoectochilus annamensis Aver. aerial parts. The effects were evaluated of all isolated compounds (1-3) on LPS-induced production of the inflammatory mediator nitric oxide (NO) by RAW264.7 cells. 4',5-Dihydroxy-3,3',7-trimethoxyflavone (2) was the most active while the addition of a rutinoside at C4' (compound 1) decreased the inhibitory activity. This is the first report on the chemical composition and biological activity of A. annamensis.
