Pentacyclic triterpenes from the leaves of Camellia hakodae Ninh.

Nine pentacyclic triterpene derivatives including new 3-O-cis-p-coumaroyl trichadenic acid B (1) and two new ursane-type triterpene derivatives, 11α,12-[1-(methyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dioxy]-urs-12-ene-3ß-ol (2) and 11α,12-[2-(methyl)-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dioxy]-urs-12-ene-3ß-ol (3) were isolated from the leaves of Camellia hakodae Ninh., along with six known compounds (4-9). This is the first report on pentacyclic triterpenoids from this species. New compounds 1-3 and compound 7 were tested for cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines (KB; Hep-G2; Lu; MCF-7) using the MTT assay to show moderate activity.

Study on nodification process of component contents in the essential oil of (Artemisia annua l).in Vietnam and Bulgaria

In Vietnam and Bulgaria, accumulation of essential oils of Artemisia annua L. depending on the period of it's growth, was investigated. The content change of compound is significant with 3 phases: Phase 1 - From tree began growth to first 6 months, phase 2 - from second month to fourth month, phase 3 - from fifth month to sixth month (the tree is in flower). Concentration of artemisia annua L. is highest at phase 3 when the tree is in flower

Chemical components of essential oil of Artemisia annua L. in Vietnam and Bulgaria

Research by …..method combined with block spectrum. High content of Artemisia ketone is in essential oil of Bungaria, almost no have in essential oil of Viet Nam. In bloom period, essential oil content of Artemisia annual L in Viet Nam only attained 0,1-0,2%, meanwhile Bungari’s attained 0,5-0,8% (reckon follow fresh weight). That showed Artermisia annual essential oil of Viet Nam no has significant meaning in economic and reality.
