The chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract from the twigs of Acer tegmentosum led to the isolation of ten phenolic compounds. The structures of these compounds were determined using spectroscopic methods as 3,7,3',4'-tetramethyl-quercetin (1), 5,3'-dihydroxy-3,7,4'-trimethoxy flavone (2), 2,6-dimethoxy-p-hydroquinone (3), (-)-catechin (4), morin-3-O-alpha-L-lyxoside (5), p-hydroxy pheny...

phorbiaceae. It is a shrub or small tree reaching 4—5 meters high and native to Thailand, where it is commonly called “Plao phae”. In this paper, we describe the isolation and structure elucidation of newly isolated 3 -(4 -hydroxy-3 ,5 dimethoxyphenyl)-propyl benzoate, 3 -(4 -hydroxyphenyl)propyl benzoate and four known compounds [3 -(4 -hydroxy-3 -methoxyphenyl)-propyl benzoate, poilaneic acid...

Formamides are unreactive analogues of the aldehyde substrates of alcohol dehydrogenases and are useful for structure-function studies and for specific inhibition of alcohol metabolism. They bind to the enzyme-NADH complex and are uncompetitive inhibitors against varied concentrations of alcohol. Fourteen new branched chain and chiral formamides were prepared and tested as inhibitors of purifie...

The single crystal of (-)-gallocatechin-3-O-gallate (GCg) was prepared using a solution containing an equimolecular amount of GCg and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCg) in water. The crystal structure of GCg determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis was monoclinic with the space group P2(1) at 223 K. Offset pi-pi interactions formed between the A and A rings, B and B rings, and gallate...

Rats trained to detect propyl acetate and valeric acid and to discriminate between propyl acetate and amyl acetate and between valeric acid and butyric acid were injected with a low dose of 3-methyl indole, a treatment that produces well-defined and selective deafferentation of the olfactory bulbs. Treatment completely deafferented most but not all bulbar loci for aliphatic acids and at least d...

Several yeasts were isolated from Campbell Early grapes (Vitis labrusca cultivar Campbell Early), the major grape cultivar in Korea, grown in two different regions. PCR-RFLP analysis of the ITS I-5.8S-ITS II region showed that 34 isolates out of a total of 40 were in the same group. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the major strain belonged to one species, Hanseniaspora uvarum, although they...

A facile one step synthesis of anilino alky1-N-substituted phthalimide I is reported. The following compounds belonging to this series were made: 1. (anilino-N-ethyl) phthalimide 8 2. (3,4, 5-trimethoxy anilino-N-ethyl) phthalimide 6 3. (3,4, 5-trimethoxy anilino-N-propyl) phthalimide 7 4. N-(ethyl phthalirnido-p-amino benzoyl) glutamic acid diethyl ester 10 5. N-(propyl phthalimido-p-ami...

The antioxidant activities of gallic acid, propyl gallate, (+)-catechin and quercetin in bulk camellia oil and corresponding emulsions were investigated using hydroperoxides and nonanal as indicators of oxidation. In bulk oil, these phenolic compounds showed antioxidant activities with the order of gallic acid>quercetin>propyl gallate> (+)catechin when measured using hydroperoxides and gallic a...

The title carbohydrate, C13H22O6, is a derivative of d-glycose, in which the furan-osidic and iso-propyl-idene rings are in twisted conformations. The mean plane of the furan-osidic ring makes a dihedral angle of 70.32 (18)° with the mean plane of the fused iso-propyl-idene ring. The methyl groups in the other iso-propyl-idene ring are disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio ...
