We previously isolated derrisfolin A, a novel rotenoid derivative, from the stems of Derris trifoliata Lour. (Leguminosae). Here, we report that derrisfolin A induces the expression of endogenous regucalcin (RGN) protein in both pancreatic MIN6 β‐cells ...

Deguelin attenuates reperfusion injury and improves outcome after orthotopic lung transplantation in the rat. [PDF]
The main goal of adequate organ preservation is to avoid further cellular metabolism during the phase of ischemia. However, modern preservation solutions do rarely achieve this target.

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

Synthetic Studies on Rotenoids
A general cyclization reaction to dehydrorotenoids has been developed. Dehydrorotenone (III) and dehydrodeguelin (IV) were obtained in high yield from methyl derrisate (Vb) and methyl deguelate (VIb), respectively, by treatment with sodium ethoxide.
