New pyranosyl cembranoid diterpenes from Sarcophyton trocheliophorum [PDF]
During our continual searching programme for novel bioactive metabolites from Sarcophyton trocheliophorum, collected from Red Sea, we describe herein the isolation and structural elucidation of further two new pyrane-based cembranoid diterpenes: 9-hydroxy-7,8-dehydro-sarcotrocheliol (1) and 8,9-expoy-sarcotrocheliol acetate (2), along with the well ...

Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism of 4R-Cembranoid
4R-cembranoid (4R) is a natural cyclic diterpenoid found in tobacco leaves that displays neuroprotective activity. 4R protects against NMDA, paraoxon (POX), and diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) damage in rat hippocampal slices and against DFP in rats in vivo.

On-Line Analysis of Cigarette Smoke Based on Microwave Plasma Torch Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
Cigarette smoke contains a large number of flavor components and harmful substances, so it is crucial to establish an effective method for smoke detection and analysis. This article provides a method for on‐line analysis of smoke with MPT‐MS (Microwave plasma torch mass spectrometry), and achieved detection of 22 flavor compounds and 2 polycyclic ...

AbstractThe discovery of the first diterpenoids of the cembrane type in tobacco dates back to the early 1960's. Since then some forty tobacco cembranoids have been encountered. Most of these have a hydroxyl substituent at C-4 and are commonly divided into two series: those having a 4R- and those having a 4S-configuration.

Conformational study of the cembranoid sarcophytol A, a potent anti-tumor-promoter.
Conformational analysis of the marine cembranoid sarcophytol A (1a), a potent anti-tumor promoter, was carried out using a newly introduced molecular mechanic and molecular dynamic program Discover. Four minimum-energy conformations were derived, in accordance with a previous results of the epoxidation of 1a, which afforded 7R,8R/7S,8S- and 11R,12R/11S,

Synthesis and Evaluation of a 2,11‐Cembranoid‐Inspired Library [PDF]
AbstractThe 2,11‐cembranoid family of natural products has been used as inspiration for the synthesis of a structurally simplified, functionally diverse library of octahydroisobenzofuran‐based compounds designed to augment a typical medicinal chemistry library screen. Ring‐closing metathesis, lactonisation and SmI2‐mediated methods were exemplified and

The convergent total synthesis of furanocembranoids (FC) molestin E, ent‐sinulacembranolide A and ent‐sinumaximol A was achieved in 20–21 steps in the longest linear sequence (LLS). Building blocks were coupled through a furan metalation sequence and macrocycle formation was effected by Shiina lactonisation. The primary target molestin E was elaborated
