Abstract:
From the methanol extract of Dracaena cambodiana roots two unusual 22S-spirostane steroids (1beta,3beta,14alpha,20R,22S,25R)-spirost-5-ene-1,3,14-triol (1) and (lbeta,3beta,14alpha,15alpha,20R,22S,25R)-spirost-5-ene-tetrol (2) have been isolated, together with a known 22R-spirostane compound, namogenin B (3). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods, including HRMS and extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Compound 1 showed significant antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Fusarium oxysporum, with MIC values of 45.0, 25.0 and 50.0 microg/mL, respectively.

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
