Purealidin A,a new cytotoxic bromotyrosine-derived alkaloid from the Okinawan marine spongePsammaplysilla purea

Summary A new bromotyrosine-derived alkaloid with antileukemic activity, purealidin A (5), has been isolated from the Okinawan marine spongePsammaplysilla purea and its chemical structure elucidated on the basis of the spectroscopic data.     

A new semisynthetic ergot peptide alkaloid: DCN 203-922

Summary We report the synthesis, stereochemistry and preliminary pharmacological evaluation of DCN 203-922, a novel ergot alkaloid of the cyclol type, which contains in its peptide moiety the uncommon amino acid L-allo-isoleucine.Part of this paper was reported by this author at the Herbstversammlung der Schweizerischen Chemischen Gesellschaft, Bern, in October 1986.     

Nα-quinaldyl-L-arginine·HCl,a new defensive alkaloid fromSubcoccinella-24-punctata (Coleoptera,Coccinellidae)

The isolation of N-quinaldyl-L-arginine·HCl (1) from the CoccinellidaeSubcoccinella-24-punctata is reported. The structure, first established on the basis of the analysis of the spectral properties of1, has been confirmed by synthesis. The alkaloid is of endogenous origin and markedly deterrent to ants.     

苦豆子、铁棒锤生物碱对菜青虫的毒力测定

苦豆子、铁棒锤生物碱对菜青虫毒力测定的结果表明，苦豆子、铁棒锤生物碱对菜青虫均有较好的胃毒作用，用致死中量表示苦豆子生物碱LD50＝30．07μg/g，铁棒锤生物碱LD50＝38．83μg/g．室内触杀作用试验和田间防效试验表明，苦豆子生物碱有效剂量为2000μg/mL、600μg/mL和铁棒锤生物碱有效剂量为2000μg／mL时，对菜青虫有很好的防治效果，在施药后72h，校正防治效果可速80％-90％，且仍呈逐渐增大趋势(活虫数逐渐减少趋势)．     

酸性醇溶液提取魔芋中的总生物碱研究

研究了用酸性醇溶液回流法提取魔芋中总生物碱的方法和条件．结果表明，提取魔芋中总生物碱较佳的工艺条件是：在pH值为2～3的酸性醇溶液中，回流提取3h，总生物碱的含量可达0.39％.     

两种3-甲基吡咯烷蚂蚁毒素的不对称合成

以(S) 苹果酸衍生出的(2S,3R) 3 甲基苹果酸二甲酯7为原料,经过氯代、自由基还原脱氯和酯基还原得到(R) 2 甲基 1,4丁二醇10,对映体纯度为79.7?.进而合成了蚂蚁信息素生物碱(R) Leptothoracine1和(R) N (2' 苯基乙基) 3 甲基吡咯烷2.     

云黄连不同部位生物量及生物碱含量个体差异初探

以道地产区3个不同居群云黄连为研究材料,对不同单株不同部位(根茎、须根、叶)生物量及主要生物碱(小檗碱、药根碱、巴马汀)含量进行比较分析.结果表明:3个不同居群单株生物量及生物碱含量均存在较大个体差异,其中,单株根茎最稳定,叶次之,须根个体差异最大;作为非传统用药部位的叶和须根中的主要生物碱总量约占整株中将近1/3,可...     

荷叶生物碱的研究进展

概述了荷叶生物碱的化学成分及其减肥、降脂、降血压、抑菌、抗衰老等保健作用以及荷叶生物碱的提取、分离技术的研究进展,为荷叶生物碱的合理开发利用提供参考.     

伊贝母细胞悬浮培养的研究

研究了伊贝母细胞悬浮培养过程中接种量、培养方式和激素浓度对细胞生长的影响；测得细胞生长周期为１９～２４ｄ；分析了培养液的ｐＨ、蔗糖浓度、电导率和Ｄｏ变化的原因。鉴定了悬浮培养细胞中含有生物碱，其总生物碱和西贝素含量均高于栽培鳞茎。     

Paternal allocation of sequestered plant pyrrolizidine alkaloid to eggs in the danaine butterfly,Danaus gilippus

Summary Pyrrolizidine alkaloid sequestered by adult maleDanaus gilippus from plants is transferred in large measure to the female at mating, and by the female to the eggs. The eggs, presumably, are protected as a result. The male's courtship pheromone, danaidone, derived from the sequestered alkaloid, may function to advertise the male's alkaloid-donating capacity.Acknowledgments.
