Rotenoids from the Roots of Vicia faba L. (Fabaceae): Structural Characterization, Cytotoxic Effects, and Molecular Docking. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
ABSTRACT The chemical study of the ethanolic extract from the roots of Vicia faba led to the isolation of two isoflavonoids, alfalone and 8‐O‐methylretusine, as well as a mixture of rotenoids, including clitoriacetal and clitoriacetal B, the latter of which is reported for the first time.

Confrontations of the Pathogenic Fungus Colletotrichum graminicola With a Biocontrol Bacterium or a Ubiquitous Fungus Trigger Synthesis of Secondary Metabolites With Lead Structures of Synthetic Fungicides. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Introduction of biocontrol agents to agricultural environments creates microbial confrontations. In confrontations between a fungal maize pathogen and a biocontrol bacterium or a ubiquitous fungus, novel compounds with similarity to synthetic fungicides and substances putatively toxic to humans are formed, questioning consumer safety of biological ...
