Chemical Constituents of the Bark of Zanthoxylum gilletii (Rutaceae) and Their In Vitro Antiplasmodial and Molecular Docking Studies

Journal of Chemistry

The phytochemical investigations of the methanol extract of Zanthoxylum gilletii bark led to the isolation of thirteen compounds identified as two alkaloids including one acridone 5-hydroxynoracronycine (1) and one benzo [c] phenanthridine decarine (2), three lignans trans- and cis-fagaramide (3 and 4) and sesamin (5), two coumarins scoparone (6) and scopoletin (7), three pentacyclic triterpenoids fridelin (8), lupeol (9) and erythrodiol-3-O-palmitate (10), one phenolic compound vanillic acid (11) as well as two common steroids stigmasterol (12), and its derivative stigmasterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (13). The structures of all the isolated compounds were elucidated by means of their spectroscopic and spectrometric data (1D, 2D-NMR, MS) as well as the comparison of these data with those reported in the literature. Except for compounds 9 and 11–13, all the other isolated compounds are reported for the first time from Z. gilletii but have been already obtained from other Zanthoxylum ...

A New Cyclopeptide and Other Constituents from the Leaves of Zanthoxylum rigidumHumb. & Bonpl. ex Willd. (Rutaceae)

Helvetica Chimica Acta, 2012

A new cyclopeptide, cyclozanthoxylane A (1), the lignans cis-and trans-methylpluviatolide, the flavonoid isoquercitrin, along with a mixture of benzoic and cinnamic acid derivatives, were isolated from the MeOH extract of the leaves of Zanthoxylum rigidum (Rutaceae). The structures of the compounds were determined on the basis of 1D-and 2D-NMR, and MS analysis. It is the first time that a natural cyclic peptide has been isolated from the genus Zanthoxylum.

Quinolone Alkaloids Along with Other Constituents from Zanthoxylum rhetsa and their Chemotaxonomic Significance

Records of Natural Products

A total of eight compounds were isolated from the petroleum ether and chloroform extracts of the root bark of Zanthoxylum rhetsa (Roxb.) (D.C). These are a coumarin xanthyletin (1), five quinolone alkaloids zanthodioline (2), arnottianamide (3), skimmianine (4), fagaridine (5), oxynitidine (7), a lignan pluviatilol (6), and a triterpene lupeol (8) were identified. Structures of the isolates were characterized by extensive 1D and 2D NMR analyses and by comparing their spectral data with the published values. The compounds, zanthodioline (2), oxynitidine (7), fagaridine (5), and pluviatilol (6) are the first record from this plant.

Alkaloids and Their Pharmacology Effects from Zanthoxylum Genus

Alkaloids [Working Title]

Zanthoxylum genus (Rutaceae) comprises about 212 species distributed in warm temperature and subtropical areas in the worldwide. Zanthoxylum species have been used in traditional for the treatment of tooth decay, snakebites, blood circulation problems, stomach problems, inflammation, rheumatic, and parasitic diseases. The chemical investigations of Zanthoxylum have been studied by many scientists over the world. Several classes of compounds have been isolated from this genus such as alkaloids, coumarins, and monoterpenes. Of these, alkaloids are the main components and play an important role in Zanthoxylum species. Alkaloids have been shown the potential promise about biological activities: cytotoxic, antimalarial, leishmanicidal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiviral, and antibacterial activities. This chapter will focus on the structure elucidation and pharmacological activities of alkaloids from Zanthoxylum species. In addition, the absolute configuration of some alkaloids from Zanthoxylum genus will be also discussed.

Zanthoxoaporphines A–C: Three new larvicidal dibenzo[de,g]quinolin-7-one alkaloids from Zanthoxylum paracanthum (Rutaceae)

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2013

The bioassay-guided purification of Zanthoxylum paracanthum (Rutaceae) extracts led to the isolation of three new alkaloids, namely 1-hydroxy-10-methoxy-7H-dibenzo[de,g]quinolin-7-one (zanthoxoaporphine A, 2), 1-hydroxy-7H-dibenzo[de,g]quinolin-7-one (zanthoxoaporphine B, 3) and 1,8-dihydroxy-9-methoxy-7H-dibenzo[de,g]quinolin-7-one (zanthoxaporphine C, 4), and a known lignan identified as sesamin (1). Isolation and purification of the constituent compounds was achieved through conventional chromatographic methods. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were determined on the basis of UV, IR, NMR and MS data, and confirmed by comparison with those reported in the literature. The larvicidal activity of some of the isolated compounds was investigated by using third-instar Anopheles gambiae larvae.

Chemical constituents of the wood from Zanthoxylum quinduense Tul. (Rutaceae)

Química Nova, 2010

Phytochemical investigation of the wood from Zanthoxylum quinduense Tul. allowed the isolation and identification of norchelerythrine, decarine, 6-acetonyldihydrochelerythrine, syringaresinol, evofilin C, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, vanillic acid, a mixture of b-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol and a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and their esters derivatives. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques and comparison with literature data and the mixture of sterols and fatty acids were identified by GC/MS. The antifungal activity of the ethanolic extract, fractions and pure compounds against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici was determined by bioautography. Evofilin C and nochelerytrine were the only substances that present antifungal activity.
