Structures of new sesquiterpenes from Curcuma comosa.
From the methanolic extract of the rhizomes of Curcuma comosa cultivated in Thailand, six new sesquiterpenes, (+)- and (-)-comosols (1, 2), comosones I (3), II (4), and III (5), and dimethoxycurcumenone (6), were isolated. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence.
متن کاملBioactive sesquiterpenes from Curcuma ochrorhiza and Curcuma heyneana.
Curcuma ochrorhiza ('temu putih') and C. heyneana ('temu giring') are two Zingiberaceous species which are commonly used in traditional medicine in Malaysia and Indonesia. Phytochemical investigations on these Curcuma species have resulted in the isolation of six sesquiterpenes, namely zerumbone (1), furanodienone (2), zederone (3), oxycurcumenol epoxide (4), curcumenol (5) and isocurcumenol (6...
متن کاملBone Sparing Effect of a Novel Phytoestrogen Diarylheptanoid from Curcuma comosa Roxb. in Ovariectomized Rats
Phytoestrogens have been implicated in the prevention of bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Recently, an active phytoestrogen from Curcuma comosa Roxb, diarylheptanoid (DPHD), (3R)-1,7-diphenyl-(4E,6E)-4,6-heptadien-3-ol, was found to strongly promote human osteoblast function in vitro. In the present study, we demonstrated the protective effect of DPHD on ovariectomy-induced bone loss (...
متن کاملImprovements of insulin resistance in ovariectomized rats by a novel phytoestrogen from Curcuma comosa Roxb
BACKGROUND Curcuma comosa Roxb. (C. comosa) is an indigenous medicinal herb that has been used in Thailand as a dietary supplement to relieve postmenopausal symptoms. Recently, a novel phytoestrogen, (3R)-1,7-diphenyl-(4E,6E)-4,6-heptadien-3-ol or compound 049, has been isolated and no study thus far has investigated the role of C. comosa in preventing metabolic alterations occurring in estroge...
متن کامل(+)/(−)-Phaeocaulin A-D, four pairs of new enantiomeric germacrane-type sesquiterpenes from Curcuma phaeocaulis as natural nitric oxide inhibitors
Germacrane-type sesquiterpenes, with a flexible 10-membered ring unit as the structural and conformational features, play a central role in the biosynthesis and synthesis of other sesquiterpenes. In this report, two pairs of new sesquiterpene alkaloids, (+)/(-)-phaeocaulin A [(+)-1/(-)-1] and B [(+)-2/(-)-2], and two pairs of new sesquiterpenes, (+)/(-)-phaeocaulin C [(+)-3/(-)-3] and D [(+)-4/...
