The d...Introduction The plants of genus Cistanche G. Beck, which belong to Orobanchaceae family, include about twenty species, and there are four species and one variety are distributed in the northwest part of China. The dried fleshy stem of Cistanche genus plant known as ＇Roucongrong＇ in Chinese traditional medicine, has long been used for kidney deficiency, female infertility, morbid leucorrhea, and neurasthenia. Studies on active components and pharmacological activities show that it possesses significant activities in enhancing potency, anti-fatigue, immuno-modulability, etc, and phenylethanoid glycosides are the major active components. Due to excessive exploitation, its natural resources are facing with exhaustion. In order to improve this situation, the plant has been cultivated on a large scale in the northwest part of China. Up to now, the chemical investigations of the cultivated Cistartcbe salsa have not been undertaken. In this paper we report seven phenylethanoid glycosides from the cultivated Cistanche salsa： echinacoside （1）, cistanoside A （2）, acteoside （3）, isoacteoside （4）, 2＇-acetylacteoside （5）, tubuloside B （6）, and eutigoside A （7）. Among them, compound 7 isolated fronl family Orobanchaceae was reported previously, and compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 from the cultivated Cistanche salsa are reported for the first time.展开更多

文摘Plant pathogens secrete various cell wall-degrading enzymes that compromise host cell wall integrity and facilitate pathogen invasion.This study identified VdGH7a,a glycoside hydrolase family 7(GH7)cellobiohydrolase from Verticillium dahliae,which demonstrated hydrolytic activity against 1,4-β-glucan.Notably,VdGH7a induced cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana when signal peptides were present,though this effect was inhibited by the carbohydrate-binding type-1(CBM1)protein domain.The deletion of VdGH7a substantially reduced V.dahliae pathogenicity in cotton plants,as demonstrated by the mutants’inability to penetrate cellophane membrane.These knockout mutants also exhibited reduced carbon source utilization capacity and increased sensitivity to osmotic and cell wall stresses.Through yeast two-hybrid screening,bi-molecular fluorescence complementation(BiFC),and luciferase complementation imaging(LCI),we identified that VdGH7a interacts with an osmotin-like protein(GhOLP1)in cotton.Virus-induced gene silencing of GhOLP1 resulted in decreased salicylic acid(SA)content and reduced resistance to V.dahliae in cotton,while heterologous overexpression of GhOLP1 in Arabidopsis enhanced both resistance and SA signaling pathway gene expression.These results reveal a virulence mechanism wherein the secreted protein VdGH7a from V.dahliae interacts with GhOLP1 to activate host immunity and contribute significantly to plant resistance against V.dahliae.

文摘Introduction The plants of genus Cistanche G. Beck, which belong to Orobanchaceae family, include about twenty species, and there are four species and one variety are distributed in the northwest part of China. The dried fleshy stem of Cistanche genus plant known as ＇Roucongrong＇ in Chinese traditional medicine, has long been used for kidney deficiency, female infertility, morbid leucorrhea, and neurasthenia. Studies on active components and pharmacological activities show that it possesses significant activities in enhancing potency, anti-fatigue, immuno-modulability, etc, and phenylethanoid glycosides are the major active components. Due to excessive exploitation, its natural resources are facing with exhaustion. In order to improve this situation, the plant has been cultivated on a large scale in the northwest part of China. Up to now, the chemical investigations of the cultivated Cistartcbe salsa have not been undertaken. In this paper we report seven phenylethanoid glycosides from the cultivated Cistanche salsa： echinacoside （1）, cistanoside A （2）, acteoside （3）, isoacteoside （4）, 2＇-acetylacteoside （5）, tubuloside B （6）, and eutigoside A （7）. Among them, compound 7 isolated fronl family Orobanchaceae was reported previously, and compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 from the cultivated Cistanche salsa are reported for the first time.

文摘Phytochemical investigations of the aerial parts of Reineckia carnea, collected in Yunnan Province of China, were conducted to explore new chemical constituents. A series of chromatographic and spectroscopic procedures were utilized on the aqueous solution after partitioned with ethyl acetate, which resulted in the separation of a new furostanol-type glycoside and four known compounds. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic techniques（1D and 2D NMR, IR, HRESIMS） as 26-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-（25S）-5β-furost-20（22）-en-1α,3β,26-triol-1-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-（1→2）-[α-Lrhamnopyranos-yl]-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside（1）,（1β,3β,16β,22S）-cholest-5-en-1,3,16,22-tetrol-1,16-di-（β-D-glucopyranoside）（2）, diosgenin（3）, β-sitosterol（4）, ecdysterone（5）.
文摘Two new C 27 steroidal glycosides, named ophiopojaponin A (1) and B (2), together with two known ones, were isolated from the tubers of the famous traditional Chinese herb Ophiopogon japonicus Ker_Gawl. The spectroscopic and chemical evidence revealed their structures to be pennogenin 3_O_[2′_O_acetyl_α_L_rhamnopyranosyl (1→2)]_β_D_xylopyranosyl (1→3)_β_D_glucopyranoside (1), 26_O_β_D_glucopyranosyl_(22ξ, 25R)_3β, 14α, 22ξ, 26_tetrahydroxyfurost_5_ene 3_O_α_L_rhamnopyranosyl (1→2)_β_D_glucopyranoside (2), diosgenin 3_O_[α_L_rhamnopyranosyl (1→2)]_β_D_xylopyrano_syl (1→3)_β_D_glucopyranoside (3) and ruscogenin 1_O_[α_L_rhamnopyranosyl (1→2)]_β_D_xylopyranosyl (1→3)_β_D_fucopyranoside (4).
文摘Three new phenolic glycosides, named as equisetumoside A (3-methoxy-11,12-dihydroxy-phenylhexane-9- one-4-O-beta -D-glucopyranoside), equisetumoside B (3-methoxy-4,11-dihydroxy-phenylhexane-9-one12-O-beta -D-glucopyranoside) and equisetumoside C ( cis-ferulic acid potassium salt 4-O-beta -D-glucopyranoside) were isolated from the water-soluble extract of fertile sprouts of Equisetum, arvense L. (Equisetaceae), together with uridine, inosine, 2'-deoxyinosine, 2'-deoxycytidine, tryptophan, thymidine, 5-carboxy-2'-deoxyuridine, coniferin, and kaempferol 3-O-beta -D-sophoroside-7-O-beta -D-glucopyranoside. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical transformation.

文摘Based on the stability results of Radix hedysari extract, an unstable compound was extracted using acidic methanol and purified by rapid chromatographic methods successfully from Radix hedysari for the first time guided by HPLC analysis. Its structure was identified as formononetin 7-O-β-D-（6＂-O-malonyl）-glucopyranoside by spectroscopic analyses.
文摘A novel phenylpropanoid glycosides 1, named parispolyside E and a novel derivation of phenolic glycoside 2, named parispolyside G, as well as two known flavonoid glycosides were isolated from the rhizome of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis. Their structures were elucidaed by spectroscopic methods.
