Three rDNA regions, ITS1, 5.8S rDNA, and ITS2, were prepared for 77 species belonging to seven families of Coniferopsida, including Taxaceae. Maximum parsimony(MP)and Neighbor-joining(NJ) analyses were performed. Results showed that:(1) the Coniferopsida species formed three branches:(Taxaceae, Cephalotaxaceae, Cupressaceae, Taxodiaceae),(Araucariaceae, Podocarpaceae), and(Pinaceae);(2) Taxaceae included Taxus, Pseudotaxus, Amentotaxus, and Torreya; and(3) Pseudotaxus belonged to Taxaceae, with a support rate of 97%in MP analyses and 99% in NJ analyses.展开更多

Conifers have a considerable amount of waxes on their cones and leaves.Here we characterized the n-alkane composition of Iranian conifers, including Juniperus oblonga, J. foetidissima, J.sabina, J. communis subsp. hemisphaerica, J. excelsa,Cupressus sempervirens, Platycladus orientalis from Cupressaceae and Taxus baccata from Taxaceae for the first time using GC-FID analyses. In the waxes, 25 n-alkane homologs with chain lengths ranging from C7 to C32 were identified. Short-chain n-alkanes were dominant in almost all samples with some exceptions. Complementary studies to elucidate complete wax constituents of Iranian conifers and n-alkane distribution pattern as a function of geographical and bioclimatic variables are recommended.展开更多
A new abeotaxane was isolated from the seeds of Taxus mairei. Its structure was determined to be 2α, 5α, 13α-trihydroxy-7β, 10β-diacetoxy-2（3→20） abeotaxa-4（20）, 11-dien-9- one on the basis of 1D and 2D spec...A new abeotaxane was isolated from the seeds of Taxus mairei.

The structure of a new abietane diterpenoid, taxayunnin (1), from the barks of Taxus yunnanensis, was determined by spectroscopic analysis. A known abietane diterpenoid, taxamairin C (2), was also isolated.
Three novel bicyclic taxane diterpenoids with the rare 6/12-membered rings wereisolated from the need ies of Taxus chinensis var. mairei. The structures were established with the help of 1D and 2D NMR spectral analysis.

The structures of allcompounds were elucidated and identified by spectroscopic methods. T'he structure of 7-deacetoxytaxinine J was further confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The structure of the knowncompound, taxinine E, was also revised.展开更多
Two new baccatin Ⅲ type taxoids, 13-Cinnamoylbaccatin Ⅲ (1) and 7-xylosylbaccatin Ⅲ(2), have been isolated from the barks of Taxus yunnanensis. The structures were elucidated by spectral means.

Such studies will eventually result in the development of a new type of chemotherapeutic antitumor agents.展开更多

Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidences. Compound 1 is a neo-lignan xyloside while compound 2 belongs to the rare neo-lignan possessing a ramified C3 side chain.展开更多
