Red Algae

Red Algae

Red algae, also known as rhodophytes, are primarily found in marine environments, though some species inhabit freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. These organisms exist in both unicellular and multicellular forms, with some multicellular varieties reaching macroscopic sizes.As phototrophic organisms, red algae contain chlorophyll a; however, their chloroplasts lack chlorophyll b. Instead, they possess phycobiliproteins, which serve as major light-harvesting pigments, similar to those found in...

Diversity of Protists III

Diversity of Protists III

Rhizaria are a diverse group of unicellular protists characterized by their threadlike cytoplasmic extensions known as pseudopodia. These structures aid in both locomotion and feeding, giving Rhizaria an amoeboid appearance. Their amoeboid morphology once led to taxonomic confusion, but molecular phylogenetics has clarified their evolutionary placement and emphasized their shared use of pseudopodia despite divergent lineages.This clade comprises diverse lineages such as Chlorarachniophyta,...

Background:

Celastrus flagellaris Rupr. is a plant species known for its potential medicinal properties.
Lignans are a diverse group of phenolic compounds found in plants, often exhibiting biological activity.

Purpose of the Study:

To isolate and characterize new lignan compounds from the stems of Celastrus flagellaris Rupr.
To elucidate the chemical structures of these novel compounds using comprehensive spectroscopic analysis.

Main Methods:

Isolation of compounds using chromatographic techniques.
Structure elucidation employing High-Resolution Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry (HR-EI-MS).
Detailed analysis of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) data, including 1D, 2D NMR, Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Coherence (HMQC), Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (NOESY), and Circular Dichroism (CD).

Main Results:

Two new lignans, (R-biar)-12-angeloyloxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-1,2,3,13,14-pentamethoxy-7,8-dimethyl-7-dibenzo[a,c]cyclooctenol (1) and (R-biar)-12-benzoyloxy-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-1,2,3,13,14-pentamethoxy-7,8-dimethyl-7-dibenzo[a,c]cyclooctenol (2), were successfully isolated.
The structures of these lignans were definitively determined through the interpretation of extensive spectroscopic data.

Conclusions:

The study successfully identified and characterized two previously unknown lignans from Celastrus flagellaris.
This research contributes to the understanding of the phytochemical profile of Celastrus flagellaris and the diversity of lignan structures.
