ABSTRACT
Phytochemical investigation on the ethyl acetate fraction of the leaves of Epigynum cochinchinensis led to the isolation of a new C21 pregnane glycoside, epigycoside B (1), together with three known analogues. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic techniques, including UV, MS, and NMR experiments, as well as the chemical methods. Compound 1 displayed in vitro immunosuppressive activity against concanavalin A (Con A)/Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated proliferation of mice splenocyte. The activity was significant as compared with control group at 50 µM concentration.

In the title compound, C(9)H(9)FO(3), the dihedral angle between the carboxyl group and the benzene ring is 79.4â (3)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers through pairs of classical O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds. These are further linked by weaker C-Hâ¯O inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network.
ABSTRACT
The title mol-ecule, C(13)H(18)N(2)O(3), contains a benzene ring fused to an oxazine ring and one tert-but-oxy-carbonyl group bound to the N atom of the oxazine ring. A weak intra-molecular C-Hâ¯O inter-action occurs. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-Hâ¯O and C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds stack the mol-ecules down the b axis. Weak C-Hâ¯N contacts connect the stacks, generating a three-dimensional network.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To study the inhibitory effect of 23-HBA on angiogenesis in vitro. METHODS: The effect of 23-hydroxy butulinic acid (23-HBA) on the in vitro proliferation of human microcapillary endothelial cells(HMECs) was examined by sulfonylrhodamine B (SRB) assay. The effect of 23-HBA on endothelial cell migration, and tubule formation on Matrigel was also observed. The CD31 expression in HMECs was dectected by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: The proliferation of HMECs was inhibited significantly by 23-HBA with IC(50) being 40.44 mg/L. 23-HBA inhibited endothelial cell migration and tubule formation in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of CD31 in HMECs was reduced after treatment with 10 mg/L 23-HBA. CONCLUSION: 23-HBA can inhibit angiogenesis in vitro, which would become a promising antiangiogenic drug.
