Triterpenoids functionalized at C-2 as diagenetic transformation products of 2,3-dioxygenated triterpenoids from higher plants in buried wood.

چکیده
Several oleanane-related triterpenoids bearing a unique C-2 oxygenated functionality have been identified as the predominant triterpenoids from a 4900 year old oak wood sample buried in a freshwater sediment. They likely represent specific molecular tools that can be used as markers to reconstruct past vegetation assemblages, or to recognise severely altered oak wood at archaeological sites.

Phytochemical Investigation on Euphorbia macrostegia (Persian wood spurge)
Euphorbia macrostegia or Persian wood spurge is one of the seventeen endemic plants of this genus in Iran. Three triterpenoids: 24-methylenecycloartan-3β-ol (1), butyrospermol (2) and cycloartenol (3) and three diglycerides: 1,2-di-O-α-linolenoyl-sn-glycerol (4), 1-O-linoleoyl-3-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol (5) and 1-O-α-linolenoyl-2-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol (6) were isolated from a hexane layer of m...
متن کاملQuantification of betulinic, oleanolic and ursolic acids as medicinally important triterpenoids in some Thymus species from Iran
Background and objectives: Betulinic acid (BA), oleanolic acid (OA) and ursolic acid (UA) are well-known pentacyclic triterpenoids (PTs), which are produced by plants. They possess a variety of beneficial effects including anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antitumor, anti-HIV, antimicrobial, gastroprotective, and antihyperlipidemic activities. In the present study, quantitative determination...

متن کاملNew Triterpenoids from Peucedanum ruthenicum
From hexanic extract of aerial parts of Peucedanum ruthenicum M. Bieb (Apiaceae) collected from Mazandaran province of Iran, four triterpenoids namely taraxasterol, y-taraxasterol, poriferasterol and b-sitosterol have been isolated by column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and crystallization. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, MS, 1H and 13C-N...
